Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons sesame oil
-
1 cup organic yellow onions, cut in thin half circles
-
1 1/2 cups organic celery, sliced diagonally
-
1 1/2 cups organic carrots, sliced diagonally 0.25'' thick
-
8 cups water
-
3 cups Napa Cabbage, thinly sliced
-
2 cups Bok Choy or kale leaves (optional)
-
1 teaspoon ginger juice - (from grated ginger)
-
5 tablespoons miso paste
-
1 package organic tofu (10 oz. package) cubed
-
2 tablespoons organic green onions, sliced for garnish

Tamari and sea salt to taste
Directions
In a heavy-bottomed 5-6 quart pot, gently heat 2 Tbsp. sesame oil.
Add the onions and celery, and sauté, stirring often, until lightly browned - about 10 minutes.
Add the carrots and continue sautéing 5-10 minutes more, stirring until carrots are browned.
Add the water and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the carrots are just tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Add the cabbage, bok choy or kale, and ginger juice.
Simmer 5-10 minutes longer, or until cabbage is tender.
Turn off the heat. In a small bowl, combine the miso and enough of the hot soup broth to make a thin paste.
Stir into soup. Gently stir in the tofu chunks.
Add the tamari and sea salt to taste.
Serve garnished with chopped green onions.
