TURNIP MISO SOUP WITH CHIVES

RECIPE

Serves 4 

• 4 young turnips, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces
• 1/4 cup chives or 2 scallions, chopped
• 3 Tbls White miso paste or more to taste
• 3 cups Dashi broth (Go to Basics for Dashi Broth recipe) or Dried Maitake Mushroom dashi (here is the link for the recipe)

1. In a medium size pot, bring the dashi to a simmer. 
   
2. Add the sliced turnip and cook over medium heat until the turnip is slightly tender, about 3 minutes. 
   
3. Just before serving, dissolve the miso paste into the dashi broth. 
   
4. Turn off heat and serve immediately in small bowls with chopped chives or scallions.
5. Kitchen note: Do not reheat the miso soup after the miso has been added. The flavor diminishes with reheating. So do it last minute.
