Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and green portions separated
- 1 ear of corn, kernels cut away from the cob
- 4 cups hot water
- 2 dry shiitake mushrooms
- 2–3 tbsp yellow miso paste
- 11 oz soft tofu, sliced into rounds or cubed
- Sesame oil, for serving (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms, sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon of oil, and salt. Toss to coat and spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, toss, then bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until browned. Squeeze lemon juice on top before serving.
- In a large saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-low. Add the halved tomatoes and a generous pinch of salt, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the scallions and corn to the tomato mixture, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 3 1/2 cups of water and add the dried mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 10 minutes. Gently add the tofu and cook for 3-5 minutes to warm through.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of water with the miso paste until smooth. Remove the dried mushrooms from the soup, then stir in the miso mixture.
- Adjust seasoning with salt or miso to taste, drizzle sesame oil over the top, and serve in bowls topped with roasted mushrooms and a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy with rice if desired.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of miso based on your taste preference for saltiness.
For a heartier soup, consider adding more vegetables or proteins like chicken or shrimp.
This soup can be made ahead and reheated, just add fresh toppings before serving.
