Ingredients
- 1.5 L water
-
3 bags of Kayanoya dashi with kombu
- 500 g kabocha
- 100 g shimeji mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons red miso
-
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat 1.5 L of water in a saucepan. Add the 3 sachets of dashi kombu and the 500 g of chopped kabocha.
Once the water has come to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the kabocha is tender.
Meanwhile, wash the shimeji mushrooms and cut off their stems.
When the kabocha is cooked, add the shimeji mushrooms to the pan and cook over low heat for a further 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and dilute the 3 tablespoons of red miso in the soup. Add the ground white sesame seeds for a finishing touch.
Recipe notes
Always add miso at the end of cooking, and take care not to boil the soup after incorporating it. This preserves its subtle aromas and nutritional benefits.
This soup goes very well with a bowl of white rice or onigiri for a complete, balanced meal. You can also accompany it with a light green tea for a comforting, balanced meal.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat it gently in a saucepan, avoiding boiling to preserve the miso flavor.
