Ingredients

1 bunch scallions, sliced thin, white and green parts separated
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
8 cups water
3 (6-inch) pieces dried kelp (kombu)
1/4 cup bonito flakes
3 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
1/2 cup light miso
1 pound baby bok choy, cut in quarters
8 ounces firm tofu, cut into cubes

Directions

In a large soup pot over medium heat add the scallion white parts, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Cook for 1 minute and add 8 cups water. Rinse the kombu and add it to the pot along with the bonito flakes. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes - do not let it boil. Remove the kombu and set it aside. Add the dried mushrooms and miso to the pot and let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are hydrated and tender. Add the bok choy and simmer until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tofu and cook for another 5 minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the reserved green parts of scallions. You can also top it with slices of the Campfire Pan-Roasted Chicken and garnish with the Crisp Soba Noodles.

I loved it but had some trouble
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved it but had some trouble finding the bonito flakes. I even went to an Asain specialty foods store but they said... they'd order some for the future! I also couldn't find lite miso. I checked high and low but nope! I used regular miso and didn't use as much! I also added carrots to make it family friendly! It was yummy!Read more

excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

this was really easy to make and so satisfying on a chilly night. i added some spice by using a hot pepper-infused sesame oil... for the first step of cooking. this recipe is a welcome variation on standard miso soup -- it's a meal on its own.Read more
