Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons Sesame Oil
-
1 cup Organic Yellow Onions, cut in thin half circles
-
1 1/2 cups Organic Celery, sliced diagonally
-
1 1/2 cups Organic Carrots, sliced diagonally 0.25'' thick
-
8 cups Water
-
3 cups Napa Cabbage, thinly sliced
-
2 cups Bok Choy or kale leaves (optional)
-
1 teaspoon ginger juice - (from grated ginger)
-
5 tablespoons Miso Paste
-
1 package Organic Tofu (10 oz. package) cubed
-
2 tablespoons Organic Green Onions, sliced for garnish
-
Tamari and Sea Salt to taste
Directions
In a heavy-bottomed 5-6 quart pot, gently heat 2 Tbsp. sesame oil.
Add the onions and celery, and sauté, stirring often, until lightly browned - about 10 minutes.
Add the carrots and continue sautéing 5-10 minutes more, stirring until carrots are browned.
Add the water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the carrots are just tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Add the cabbage, bok choy or kale, and ginger juice.
Simmer 5-10 minutes longer, or until cabbage is tender.
Turn off the heat. In a small bowl, combine the miso and enough of the hot soup broth to make a thin paste.
Stir into soup. Gently stir in the tofu chunks.
Add the tamari and sea salt to taste.
Serve garnished with chopped green onions.
