MISO, CHICKEN, AND GREEN ONION SOUP

Miso, Chicken, and Green Onion Soup image

Great homemade miso soup. It's loaded with protein, and if you're vegan you can substitute firm tofu for the chicken.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons miso paste
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
5 green onions, trimmed and chopped

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir onion until golden, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more. Pour in 1/2 cup broth; simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced, 8 to 10 minutes.
Whisk miso paste and 2 tablespoons broth together in a bowl. Pour into the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir to coat the vegetables, about 1 minute. Add chicken meat and the remaining broth. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup until flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes.
