Loaded Miso Soup (cooking.nytimes.com)

Many vegan dishes (like fruit salad and peanut butter and jelly) are already beloved, but the problem faced by many of us is in imagining less-traditional dishes that are interesting and not challenging. Miso soup is a more adventurous, though no more complicated, option to try.

Ingredients

Preparation steps

  1. Bring 6 cups of water to a bare simmer and add one strip kombu; let it soak 10 minutes, then remove it and chop; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, saute a handful of sliced shiitakes in oil until crisp.
  3. Whisk a cup of the water with 1/2 cup miso in a bowl until smooth.
  4. Pour the miso mix into the water and add 1/2 pound silken tofu along with some shredded carrots, turnip and ginger, the chopped kombu and about a handful of cooked, shelled edamame.
  5. Let stand long enough to heat the tofu through, about a minute. Add some chopped scallions and the crisp shiitakes and serve.
