Spinach and Clam Meat Miso Soup
Incredibly Easy Spinach and Clam Meat Miso Soup Recipe
When spinach is on sale, I buy a generous amount, blanch it, and freeze it for later. This soup turned out delicious and incredibly convenient! It was savory, refreshing, and utterly satisfying. Perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 1 bowl of blanched spinach (previously prepared and frozen)
- 1/2 bowl of shelled clams (frozen clams work well too)
- 100ml of commercial miso paste
- 2 tablespoons of tuna extract (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, add 2 liters of water and 100ml of miso paste.
Step 2
Using a whisk or ladle, stir well to dissolve the miso paste completely in the water. Dissolving it smoothly will result in a cleaner tasting broth.
Step 3
Prepare the ingredients for the broth. Have your blanched spinach and shelled clams ready. Even frozen clams will yield a delicious soup.
Step 4
Once the water with the dissolved miso paste comes to a rolling boil, add the blanched spinach and shelled clams.
Step 5
After adding the ingredients and bringing it back to a boil, continue to simmer for about 5 minutes to ensure everything is cooked through. Then, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. For added umami, stir in 2 tablespoons of tuna extract, but feel free to adjust the amount or omit it according to your preference.
Step 6
Ladle the deliciously cooked spinach and clam meat miso soup into bowls. It’s best enjoyed hot!
