Keto Miso Soup with Tofu, Seaweed, and Mushrooms[edit | edit source]
Keto miso soup is a low-carb adaptation of the traditional Japanese miso soup. This version incorporates tofu, seaweed, and mushrooms, offering a rich flavor while adhering to the principles of the ketogenic diet.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 3 cups of water or bone broth
- 2 tbsp miso paste (choose a soy-based miso for keto, as rice or barley miso can have added carbs)
- 100g tofu, cubed
- 1 sheet of nori seaweed or wakame, torn into pieces
- 50g shiitake mushrooms or other keto-friendly mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Note: Ensure the miso paste you choose does not contain added sugars or grains to remain keto-friendly.
Instructions[edit | edit source]
- Begin by bringing the water or bone broth to a simmer in a pot.
- In a separate bowl, mix the miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot water or broth, stirring until smooth. This creates a miso slurry, which ensures there are no clumps in the soup.
- Once the water or broth is simmering, add the sliced mushrooms.
- After the mushrooms have simmered for a few minutes, add the tofu and seaweed.
- Allow the soup to continue simmering for another 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the miso slurry. It's essential to add miso at a lower temperature to preserve its beneficial probiotics and flavor.
- Add sesame oil, if using, and stir well.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Note: Avoid boiling the soup after adding the miso paste, as high temperatures can destroy the beneficial probiotics in the miso.
Health Benefits[edit | edit source]
Keto miso soup offers several health benefits:
- Low-Carb: Conducive for those on a ketogenic diet.
- Rich in Probiotics: Miso promotes gut health.
- Nutrient Dense: Seaweed and mushrooms provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]
Keto miso soup pairs well with other keto-friendly Japanese dishes, like grilled fish or a side of stir-fried vegetables with tamari.
