Red Miso Soup with Spinach and Tofu

This staple soup for centenarians is often cooked for breakfast and then reheated for lunch and dinner. It’s made distinctive with a base of richly fermented red miso and only takes about five minutes to make. Red miso is aged for a year or more—and as a fermented food, it provides the gut with beneficial bacteria.

Makes 2 servings | Active Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes
Step 1: Making the Soup
  • 2 cups dashi broth
  • 2 tablespoons red miso
  • 3 tablespoons drained and crumbled firm tofu
  • 1 cup Okinawan spinach (edible Gynura, can substitute with other spinach)
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped green onion

Heat dashi broth to a low simmer.

Add all other ingredients, whisk until miso is dissolved, then simmer for 3 minutes.

Serve with rice.
