By Vegiegail

Adapted from Feud Food

Ingredients

• 1/2 onion
• 1 carrot, peeled and sliced into coins
• 1/3 cup green peas or edamame
• large pinch of seaweed: wakame, hijiki, arame, etc.
• 1/2 inch chunk of ginger, peeled and sliced
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp anise seeds
• 1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced thin
• 2 TBS mellow miso paste

Preparation

Step 1

Boil water. Prepare vegetables and place in a large container. Pour enough boiling water over vegetables (minus mushrooms), seaweed and spices to cover. For me this was about 2 cups of water. Let sit about 5 minutes and add mushrooms. Let sit 5 more minutes.

In the meantime, prepare miso paste with enough water from the pot to blend into a thick liquid. Pour vegetables with broth equally into two bowls and divide miso liquid between them.
