Me-So Soup

Me-So Soup

4 cups water
2 cups frozen veggies (Mixed; can be found in your local grocery store as "good for stews or soups")
1 cup seaweed
1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
1/2 cup mushrooms
4-5 tbsp. miso paste
1 block of firm tofu

Over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients (except paste and tofu) in a large pot and let boil. When the vegetables are softened add in the miso paste (*if this is not enough for the flavor you want, add in more until you reach your desired flavor); stir (*color should change to a light to medium brown color). Add in the tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes longer (*Do not cook tofu too long, it does not need to be cooked that long); stir and serve hot.

*Johnna's tip: The good thing about miso soup, in addition to how deliciously healthy it is, is you can add anything you want to it basically! Add in spinach if you like or even potatoes (basically whatever you have lying around the kitchen...) Another plus is it is like no calories, so you can pig out on it even when you decide it's time for that diet;-) Enjoy!
