MISO SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND WATERCRESS
Steps:
- Microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm, starting with 2 minutes per potato. Plunge into a bowl of ice water.
- Pour 5 cups water into a soup pot; add the bouillon cubes and bring to a rapid simmer. Add the tofu, watercress, scallions, and ginger. Stir gently, return to a rapid simmer, then remove from heat.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into small dice. Stir into the soup.
- Dissolve 2 tablespoons of miso in a small amount of warm water. Add to the soup and taste. If you'd like a saltier, more pungent taste, add another tablespoon or two of miso dissolved in a little warm water. Season with pepper to taste and serve at once.
