Mushroom Miso Soup with Cilantro and Roasted Shallots

Miso Soup is enjoyed at our family in every season. It is medicinal, warm and accessible to palates of all ages.  I normally cook for 8 people, but these ingredients can easily be divided in 1/2 for a smaller crowd. Enjoy

 

8 cups of water


Add 3 teaspoons of HonDashi & 1 tablespoon dried shredded Seaweed and bring to a boil
 


Reduce heat to simmer and add 1 small block of Firm Tofu diced

 

6 tablespoons Miso (light)

sliced Mushrooms

 

Cilantro


Roasted Shallots






 Keep pot on simmer.  It is important not to boil the miso as the higher heat destroys the mellow flavor of the Miso.  Ladel the soup in a bowl and garnish with extra cilantro, shallots, or Diced Green onion
