Korean Miso Broth with Steamed Winter Vegetables

Miso Broth and Vegetables Photographed in Bowl by Corby Hall

This is a very easy recipe that combines colorful vegetables which simmer together in a miso broth.  I
prefer a Korean miso, but the a Japanese white miso works too.  The finely designed soup dish, by Cory Hall, adds to the beauty and sensation of the dish.

Recipe:
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine water, garlic, anchovy paste, scallions,and Korean miso. Bring to a boil and let boil 3 minutes. Stir in carrot, zucchini, peas, snow peas mushrooms, jalapeños, and delicate squash then let simmer for 25 minutes.  Stir in tofu and  simmer for until squash is tender.  Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
