Miso Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms and Silken Tofu

Miso Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms & Silken Tofu | Easy 15-Minute Recipe 🍄🍲

This comforting Japanese-style miso soup is packed with umami flavor and made in just 15 minutes! The secret to its amazing aroma is the fragrant oil made from sautéed garlic, ginger, and scallion stalks — a simple step that takes this soup to the next level.

It’s then seasoned with chicken stock, miso paste, soy sauce, dashi powder, sugar, and a touch of white pepper for a perfectly balanced flavor. I’ve added fresh shiitake mushrooms for extra depth and silken tofu for that smooth, delicate texture.

You can enjoy it light and soothing, or add a cornstarch slurry for a thicker, silkier consistency — perfect for cooler days! 🥢

This recipe is beginner-friendly, healthy, and quick, making it ideal for busy weeknights or a cozy meal at home.

✨ Ready in just 15 minutes — simple, nourishing, and full of authentic flavor!
