Description

Can be v*gan and so tasty...

Ingredients

  • 2 Summer squash (yellow or zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 1lb sliced mushrooms
  • 1bn green onions, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
  • 6c swiss chard or spinach, chopped
  • 1ct tofu, extra firm, cut into cubes
  • 1t chili oil
  • 1.5t sesame oil
  • 0.25c mirin
  • 2T soy sauce

Instructions

additional ingredients (there wasn't enough room on the form!): 2 cloves minced garlic; 1/4 cup red miso paste and about 6 cups chicken or veggie stock.

Put some PAM cooking spray or veggie oil in the pan anc heat it up. saute the green onions till tender. Add garlic and cook. Add sesame and chili oil Add mushrooms; cook 3-5 minutes. Add pepper and zucchini. Cook till firm but tender. mix 1/4 c. miso with about a cup of the stock, and stir with a whisk to dissolve the miso. Add the miso mixture, remaining stock, soy sauce, and mirin. You can add as much liquid as you like to get a thick stew-like dish or a more brothy soup. Add tofu and simmer to heat through.

Really any veggies will work but I especially like the squash/mushroom combo in this dish.

If you're really lucky and not v*gan, you'll have some stock made with mamasusie's stock recipe in your freezer, which makes this soup that much tastier.
