Whether you have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this heart warming and light soup is sometimes just what you need.

Throw in the leftover rice and jazz it up with mushrooms, tofu and ginger.

Use a vegetable broth for a vegetarian / vegan version.

Ingredients (serves 1)

  • Bone broth, fish broth, or vegetable broth (about 300 ml)

  • A handful young spinach leaves

  • 1 egg (optional)

  • Firm tofu, a few cubes (optional)

  • A couple of mushrooms (I like oyster and shiitake)

  • Fresh ginger, grated (optional)

  • Herbs, chopped (spring onions, parsley and / or coriander)

Seasoning

  • 1 tsp miso paste

  • Toasted sesame oil

  • Tamari sauce

Method

  • Heat up the broth.

  • Add cooked rice (cold leftover rice works really well as it will hold its shape better than freshly cooked rice). and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft.

  • Stir in the spinach, the egg and tofu, if using.

  • Add the miso paste just after taking the pot off the stove.

  • Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with the chopped herbs, grated ginger and sesame oil.

  • Add tamari sauce to taste.
