A quick and comforting creamy miso soup made by blending silken tofu into broth, ready in just 8 minutes. Perfect for busy nights when you want a nourishing, homemade-feeling meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste (can use red for stronger flavor)
  • 7 ounces silken tofu (soft and creamy)
  • 3 cups vegetable or dashi broth (720 ml)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup water (240 ml), to adjust consistency if needed
  • Salt to taste (be cautious as miso is salty)

Instructions

  1. Slice the green onions thinly, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Drain the silken tofu gently to remove excess water.
  2. In a medium saucepan, pour in 3 cups (720 ml) of vegetable or dashi broth and warm over medium heat for about 3 minutes until steaming but not boiling.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking gently for 1 minute to release their fragrance.
  4. Transfer the warm broth and aromatics to a blender along with the silken tofu. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan carefully.
  5. Pour the blended soup back into the saucepan if needed and heat gently on low. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of miso paste in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of warm broth, then stir this mixture back into the pot. Stir well but avoid boiling.
  6. Add up to 1 cup (240 ml) of water if the soup feels too thick. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
  7. Drizzle 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil into the soup and sprinkle sliced green onions on top.
  8. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not boil the miso paste to preserve probiotics and flavor. Use silken tofu for the creamy texture. Blend hot liquids carefully to avoid splashes. Adjust salt gradually as miso paste is naturally salty.
