MISO SOUP

ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND MISO SOUP WITH COLLARD GREEN FURIKAKE

Steps:

• For the collard green furikake (can be made a day ahead): Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Rinse the collard greens and thoroughly dry them in a salad spinner or by patting them with a paper towel. Toss the greens with 1 1/2 teaspoons avocado oil and the salt. Lay them in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the collards on the sheet pan.
• Heat 1/4 cup avocado oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and ginger and cook until they begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the fried shallot and ginger with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.
• Put the benne seeds in a medium skillet and toast over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine the toasted benne seeds, red pepper flakes and fried shallots and ginger in a small bowl. Gently crumble the crispy collard greens into the mixture. When cool, you can store the collard green furikake in an airtight container until ready to use.
• For the sweet potato soup: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Gently poke the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Bake on the prepared sheet pan until the juices on the pan begin to bubble and the sweet potatoes are soft, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Combine the butter and avocado oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. When the butter melts, add the carrots, onions, garlic and ginger and cook until the onions become translucent, 6 to 10 minutes. Season with salt. Add the vinegar and miso to the pot and cook for 3 minutes.
• Remove the skins from the sweet potatoes. Place the flesh in a large bowl and mash lightly. Add the mashed potatoes to the pot. Stir in the coconut milk and broth. Simmer over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
• Blend the soup until smooth in a high-speed blender or with a hand-held immersion blender. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Serve hot, garnished with the collard green furikake. Enjoy!

MISO SOUP WITH SWEET POTATOES AND WATERCRESS

Steps:

• Microwave the sweet potatoes until done but still firm, starting with 2 minutes per potato. Plunge into a bowl of ice water.
• Pour 5 cups water into a soup pot; add the bouillon cubes and bring to a rapid simmer. Add the tofu, watercress, scallions, and ginger. Stir gently, return to a rapid simmer, then remove from heat.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into small dice. Stir into the soup.
• Dissolve 2 tablespoons of miso in a small amount of warm water. Add to the soup and taste. If you'd like a saltier, more pungent taste, add another tablespoon or two of miso dissolved in a little warm water. Season with pepper to taste and serve at once.
