My husband, Matt, does have his signature dishes, like this one. I’ve never heard of this soup until he brought this up when we were shopping for dinner the other night.
And, oh boy, this soup was tasty, filling, satisfying, invigorating, simple-to-made and beautiful. As I can’t seem to find anyone who doesn’t like miso soup, this deluxe version is definitely a superb comfort food.
Ingredients (serves 2, generously):
1 pound fresh clams, scrubbed and washed 4 cups water 2 tablespoons miso paste or to taste 1/2 block soft tofu, cut into small cubes 1 tablespoon chopped green onion a handful of thinly sliced dried seaweed
Directions:
Bring water to boil. Add miso paste and stir until it completely dissolved.
Add clams and soft tofu cubes, boil until all clams are open.
Top with chopped green onion and dried seaweed.
Serve hot plain or with steamed rice.
