5 Vegetable Miso Stew

We decided to do lent this year which means no meat on Fridays.  We decide to make a 5 vegetable miso stew from the Simply Ming One-Pot Meals.  Not to ruin the verdict, but it was awesome.


Recipe:
2 tbsp canola oil
1 bunch of scallions chopped
1 large onion minced
1 large sweet potato, diced
1 tbsp minced ginger
2 cups roma tomatoes, chopped
2 quarts vegetable stock
1 tbsp tamari sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp miso
2 bunches of baby bok choy
Clear rice noodles







Heat a stockpot over medium heat, add oil.  Add scallions (just white parts), onions and potatoes.  Season with salt & pepper.  Saute until the onions have browned lightly, about 5 minutes.  Add ginger, tomatoes (with juices), stock & tamari.  Add miso & stir to dissolve.  Bring stew to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are soft.  Add salt, pepper.

Add bok choy & simmer until soft. Add clear rice noodles. 

Verdict: 
This soup was way more delicious than I expected it to be.  The recipe above isn't exactly how it is in the cookbook.  The original recipe calls for kale, and no noodles.  Since we didn't have kale, we added baby bok choy, which was perfect.  Also, we used soy sauce instead of tamari.  The noodles were the perfect addition to the soup.  The flavors in the soup are nice and bold but not overbearing.  It's hearty and you don't feel like it's missing anything.  It was easy to make, and will definitely be made again.
