3
Add the broth and the firm tofu and cook on low for 15 to 20 minutes.
4
Remove the soup from the heat.
5
Add the miso to a small bowl and add a ladle-full of broth to the bowl. Whisk the miso into the broth to create a slurry, then add the slurry to the warm soup and mix it in.

Notes
1
If you’re using silken or soft tofu instead of firm, add it at the end of the cook time instead of cooking it for 15 to 20 minutes with the soup.
2
If you’re adding cooked noodles, add them to the pot about a couple of minutes before the soup is done.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Never Boil Your Miso 🌡️Dissolve miso paste in a small bowl with warm broth first, then add to soup after removing from heat to preserve beneficial enzymes and prevent bitter flavors from developing.
- Press Your Tofu Properly 🧊Wrap firm tofu in paper towels and press under a weight for 15-20 minutes before adding to absorb excess moisture, allowing better texture and helping it absorb the soup's flavors.
- Layer Your Vegetables Strategically 🥬Add harder vegetables like mushrooms first to the broth, then delicate bok choy and green onions in the final 2-3 minutes to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Build Umami Depth with a Finishing Touch 🌶️Drizzle spicy chili oil at the very end just before serving to add complexity and heat while keeping its aromatic quality intact.
- Warm Your Bowls First 🍲Preheat serving bowls with hot water while plating to keep your soup at optimal temperature longer and enhance the overall eating experience.
