Ingredients

4 servings
  • Water5 cups
  • Seaweed, dried3 cm
  • Vegetable mix2 cups, (thinly sliced)
  • Miso3 tsp

Steps

  1. Rinse and soak wakame for 10 minutes in one cup of water until softened
. Then remove and chop into 2.5cm-5cm strips.

  2. Place water and wakame in a soup pot and bring to a boil.

  3. Add root vegetables first and simmer gently for 5 minutes or until tender. Next add leafy vegetables and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Remove about 1/2 cup of liquid from pot and dissolve miso paste into it. Return it to the pot.
