In January I was really stressed. What with insane holiday hours, barely getting to see my family at Christmas, and trying to job hunt while still working, I wasn't so happy. Then, to make things worse, I got sick and had to do inventory. Two days in a row 6 pm-2 am and 8 pm-4 am. No fun. Point here being, I was feeling gross and for some insane reason craving soup. I have never really been into chicken noodle, I still find creamy soups unpleasant sounding, and I figured I needed something a little bit heartier than miso soup.
Kind of Hot and Sour / Miso Soup
-¾ veggie broth container (1 ltr container)
-4 cups water
-1/4 onion
-3 cloves garlic, smashed
-2 smallish pieces ginger, cut in half
-bring to a boil
-1 (or almost) head of broccoli, cut into little pieces
-1 baby daikon washed and roughly chopped
-1 zucchini chopped
-add all these to the broth
-1/4-1/2 and onion, finely chopped
-3-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped/minced
-1 inch piece ginger, minced
-olive oil
-heat oil in a pan, add onion, once softened add the garlic and ginger
-1/8 c rice wine vinegar
-18 c soy sauce
-pinch of sugar
-combine those three and add to onions etc
Once cooked, add everything to the big pot.
Then Add:
-1/3 pack of tofu drained and chopped
-1 tablespoon/teaspoon of miso paste
-teaspoon red chili paste
-sprinkling of red chili flakes
boil for a bit more til everything is done
A Combo of these two:
