We’re 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐰𝐚𝐲 through the book! This has been the best once a week quarantine activity while getting exercise, fresh air, home and garden inspiration, opportunity to chat with another human being (I spend A LOT of time with cats only), and exploring some stunning neighbourhoods in the East Bay.

I fell in love with this Miso-Tahini Soup while taking a Probiotic Cooking Class in NJ some years ago. We prepared multiple delicious dishes that evening, but this is the one that stuck with me all these years. I have this soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has quite unique taste due to the lemon, tahini and miso combo and roasting your vegetables before adding them in gives such a blast of flavor.

Serves 4
Prep: 10 min – Cook: 15 min
𝘐𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴:
1 delicata or butternut squash, seeded and cut into cubes
1 medium white turnip, peeled and cut into cubes
4 cups water
4 tbsp white miso (or any miso you like and adjust the amount accordingly. Some misos are saltier than others).
1/4 cup tahini
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
𝘖𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴:
3 cups of cooked brown rice
1 avocado (sliced or cubed)
1 bunch of chives, minced
Toasted nori (or kale), crumbled for serving
Toasted sesame seeds
𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯:
1. Toss the squash and turnip in oil, salt and garlic and broil in the oven for 10 minutes. This step is totally optional. Recipe did not call for it, but I feel that the flavors intensify when roasted.
2. Once roasted add the squash and turnip to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a gentle boil.
3. Simmer for few minutes (or 10 if you didn’t roast them i the oven) so the stock gets flavored. Remove from the heat and let cool just slightly.
4. Pour a few tablespoons of the hot stock into a small bowl and whisk in the miso and tahini. This step is to avoid clumping. Stir the thinned miso back into the pot along with lemon zest and juice. Taste, adjust the broth to your liking by adding more miso (for saltiness) or tahini, or something else.
If you have leftovers and need to reheat the soup, you’ll want to do so gently, over low heat, to preserve the probiotic qualities of the miso.
