We love this Easy Miso Soup with Veggies & Tofu. It’s cozy, savory, and tastes like something you’d get at a restaurant with all the comforts of eating it in your own home. It’s also super easy to make and comes together very quickly, so it’s a perfect weeknight dinner option. We like to add mushrooms, onions, and bok choy, then make the soup base with some miso paste and vegetable broth. We love adding tofu at the end, but you can use any kind of protein. The result is a healthy, comforting, and savory soup that will be your new go-to 30-minute dinner option.

Instructions

Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.

Add the mushrooms, shallot, green onions, and the bok choy. Season with white pepper and soy sauce or tamari. Sauté for about 7 minutes.

Add the broth and the firm tofu and cook on low for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove the soup from the heat.

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.

Taste the soup for seasoning and serve with optional chili oil.

Notes

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.

If you’re adding cooked noodles, add them to the pot about a couple of minutes before the soup is done.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Miso Magic Technique 🥣
Always dissolve miso paste in a small amount of warm broth separately before adding to prevent clumping and ensure smooth, even flavor distribution.
Tofu Texture Pro Tip 🧊
Pat firm tofu completely dry with paper towels before cutting to achieve a better sear and prevent excess water diluting your soup's flavor.
Umami Depth Trick 🌶️
Drizzle a small amount of chili oil just before serving to add a complex layer of heat and enhance the soup's overall flavor profile.
Veggie Timing Mastery 🥬
Add vegetables like bok choy and mushrooms in stages based on their cooking times - harder vegetables first, delicate ones last to maintain perfect texture.
Broth Balance Secret 🥄
Taste and adjust seasoning at the end with small amounts of soy sauce or tamari to achieve the perfect salt level without overwhelming the delicate miso base.
