- Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bok choy.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil for a little heat.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth?
A: Yes, absolutely! Chicken broth will add a richer flavor to the soup.
Q: Is this soup gluten-free?
A: It can be! Ensure your miso paste and broth are gluten-free. Some miso pastes contain barley.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: While best served fresh, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The tofu may become slightly softer over time.
Q: What kind of tofu is best for soup?
A: Medium-firm tofu holds its shape well in soup. Soft or silken tofu will break apart too easily.
