This Miso Soup with Mushrooms is a bright and flavorful soup, loaded with whole and simple ingredients. This soup has mushrooms, tofu, fresh garlic, watercress, dried seaweed, and light sweet miso paste for a fantastic flavor.
In a large saucepan bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Using a garlic press, press the 4 cloves of garlic right into the boiling water. Slice the mushrooms and add to pot, cook for 5 minutes. Add the watercress, cubed tofu, green onions, and tamari, and cook for 5 minutes longer.
Then spoon into the miso paste and cook for 3 more minutes- the soup has a better flavor if the miso is added at the end.
Serve in a large bowl, top with extra nori seaweed strips and green onions, and serve!
