Spinach Miso Soup: A Taste of Home
Heartwarming Spinach Miso Soup Recipe
Relive cherished childhood memories with this comforting Spinach Miso Soup, just like the one your mom used to make. Its mild yet deeply flavorful taste is truly special.
Broth Ingredients
- 5 cups water
- 2 Tbsp miso paste
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pour 5 cups of water into a pot and dissolve 2 tablespoons of miso paste. Whisk thoroughly to prevent lumps. Gently stirring over low heat while dissolving the miso paste can help prevent clumping.
Step 2
For a richer and cleaner broth flavor, add 1 tablespoon of gochujang along with the miso paste and stir to combine. Gochujang adds a subtle depth and mild spiciness to the soup.
Step 3
To enhance the soup’s flavor profile, add 1 teaspoon of anchovy powder or 1 teaspoon of Dashida (beef flavor) and season accordingly. Using anchovy powder will impart a deeper, more refreshing taste.
Step 4
Prepare the spinach by removing any yellow or wilted leaves and washing it thoroughly under running water. It’s important to wash away any soil, especially from the root area.
Step 5
Once the broth begins to boil, add the prepared spinach, finely chopped green onions, and diagonally sliced green chili pepper. Continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is just wilted. Be careful not to overcook, as it can diminish the spinach’s nutrients. Your delicious Spinach Miso Soup is now ready!
