Servings: persons

4 tablespoons oil (such as grapeseed, coconut or olive)
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
6 -8 fresh garlic cloves, minced
34 inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cups water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 dried shiitake mushrooms (optional)
1 cup green peas (frozen is easiest)
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 cup spinach, chopped (or any leafy green)
2 -4 tablespoons miso, divided

1
Warm the oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes.
3
Turn the heat down to low, add the garlic and saute about 2-3 more minutes.
4
Add ginger, cumin, soy sauce, and sesame oil -- let that all saute together for another 2-3 minutes.
5
Turn heat back up to medium, add water, mushrooms, peas and carrot.
6
Simmer covered for 5 minutes, or as long as it takes to cook the veg, adding in the spinach or leafy greens for the last minute of cooking.
7
Scoop out and discard the shiitake mushrooms at this point, or take them out and chop them up and put them back in the soup.
8
How much miso you use in this last step is going to depend on your tastes, and some miso tastes saltier than others.
9
My preference is 1/2 tbsp shiro miso to 1 cup soup.
10
Add miso to each empty bowl, ladel in the soup and mix well to fully dissolve the miso.
