Simple Miso Soup

ChefChanteuse's Note:

This Japanese soup is simple, delicious, and low-calorie! It tastes just like the homemade miso soup at my favorite Japanese restaurant. This recipe can easily be doubled, halved, or made to any other size.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 bowls

• 8 teaspoons miso
• 4 cups water
• 1 sheet nori
• 3 ounces firm low-fat tofu

Directions:

1. Pour the water into a 2-quart pot. Stir in the miso until it's no longer in chunks.
2. Bring to a simmer.
3. Tear the nori into pieces about 1.5" by 1.5", but don't be concerned if they're bigger or smaller than that. Add to the pot.
4. Dice the tofu until you like the size of the pieces. Add to the pot.
5. Best enjoyed immediately but keeps well in the fridge.

I just love quick and easy recipes like this. I used way too much tofu in mine (I uploaded the picture), and just added a little msg and green onion. Turned out great.

Great soup! Simple, quick and tasty! My whole family (including 2 toddlers) really liked it! I did not have tofu on hand so I just omitted it. I added 2 chopped green onions as well and some soy sauce (approximately 2 tsps). Thanks for a quick fix!
