Miso Soup with Silken Tofu
15 mins
Easy
A bowl of warm, fermented miso soup is one of the simplest ways to ground your day. This recipe focuses on clean dashi and soft tofu to provide a restorative, protein-rich meal that feels as good as it tastes.
This classic Japanese-inspired miso soup comes together in 15 minutes. It uses kombu and bonito flakes for a rich savory base, paired with probiotic-rich miso paste and silky tofu for a light yet satisfying dinner.
Never let your miso soup reach a rolling boil once the paste is added. High heat destroys the delicate probiotics and can make the miso taste overly salty rather than balanced and savory.

Yes, simply omit the bonito flakes and use a mushroom-based dashi or just steep the kombu longer.
Best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove.
White miso is sweeter and milder; red miso is stronger and more pungent. Start with white if you are new to miso.
