How to Make Miso Shiitake Breakfast Soup

  1. If using dried shiitake mushrooms (1/4 cup), soak them in 1 cup of warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid.
  2. Thinly slice the rehydrated shiitake mushrooms. If using fresh shiitake mushrooms (1 cup), slice thinly.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of white or yellow miso paste until smooth. (Do not boil miso paste).
  5. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Divide 1/2 block (4 ounces) of firm or silken tofu, crumbled, among 4 warmed soup bowls.
  7. Ladle the hot soup over the tofu in each bowl.
  8. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions and serve immediately. Optional: Enjoy with a side of our delicious chanterelle croissants (recipe sold separately).
