Ingredients

  • 1 2-inch piece of dried wakame
  • 4-5 cups cubed winter squash (butternut, kabocha, kuri, acorn or hubbard)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 tbsp chickpea or sweet white miso
  • 4 cups water
  • 1" piece of ginger, grated for 1/2 to 1 tsp juice
  • scallions for garnish

Method

  • Soak wakame for 5 minutes; discard water. Slice wakame, removing thick stem.
  • Place wakame and vegetables in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer, about 25 minutes or until squash is soft.
  • Add miso to soup, either by putting it through a mesh strainer or by dissolving it in a bowl with a few tablespoons of the soup broth.
  • Puree soup using a hand mill, immersion blender or traditional blender. Remember to warm up a glass blender. Add more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  • Add more miso if desired, for taste.
  • Return to pot. Add ginger juice and simmer 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve with scallions as garnish.
