Vegetarian Miso Soup

Remember not to add the miso paste until after you've removed the pot from the stove. Boiling miso destroys vital nutrients and vitamins.

4 cups vegetarian dashi
2 shiitake mushrooms, fresh, thinly sliced
2 TB wakame seaweed, shredded
1/2 block soft tofu, cubed
1 tsp. tamari soy sauce
4 TB white miso paste
3 green onions, thinly sliced

Bring dashi to a simmer and add mushrooms, wakame, tofu, and soy sauce. Simmer 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in miso paste until fully dissolved. Garnish with sliced green onions.
