Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, cooking for an additional minute to allow their fragrant scent to fill the air.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, increasing the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Carefully incorporate the sliced mushrooms, chopped bok choy, and julienned carrot into the pot. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the miso paste and soy sauce with a few tablespoons of hot broth until smooth.
  6. Stir the miso mixture back into the pot along with the cubed firm tofu and sesame oil. Warm gently for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
