The entire #SundaySupper team is thrilled to be working with Jaden of Steamy Kitchen this week. Jaden’s newest book Steamy Kitchen’s Healthy Asian Favorites
I couldn’t be more excited to be cooking some healthy Japanese food. This recipe fits in perfectly for our #MeatlessMarch as it made for a surprisingly filling dinner with the tofu and mushrooms.
Miso soup is one of my weaknesses. Any time we are out to sushi I have to start with a bowl of miso soup. I had yet to make it at home though so I wasn’t to familiar with the ingredients when I went shopping. I couldn’t find miso paste at Publix so I had to go to the International store down the street. There they had both organic and conventional miso paste in the refrigerated section. Organic tofu can be found pretty easily at most supermarkets. Check near the organic produce. Jaden says pretty much any assortment of leafy greens can be used. I grabbed what I thought was baby kale, this is where reading labels comes in hand, because it ended up being kale, spinach and other mixed greens, but don’t worry the mixed greens worked perfectly in this.
I loved the addition of egg and mushrooms as this is not typical to the miso soup I have enjoyed in the past. Plus have I mentioned how easy it was. Since I now have quite a large container of miso paste, I know we will be having this soup again soon.
There are so many awesome recipes in this cookbook I can’t wait to try more. Be sure to check out the giveaway below if you want a chance to win, Steamy Kitchen’s Healthy Asian Favorites

You’re right, Lane. Egg is an interesting and scrumptious addition to miso soup. Speaking of which your dish looks delectable and your penchant for the very healthy soup is admirable =)
One of my favorite Asian (Japanese) dishes is rice balls (onigiri) with pickled plum (ume-boshi.) My Twitter handle is @NinjaBaking =)
Your soup looks delicious. I had a hard time finding Miso Paste recently too. What International store do you go to?
I go to the International market on Overcash, they usually have anything I can’t find in a regular grocery store.
I am not typically a tofu person, but this soup looks so tasty, I think I’ll have to give it a try. I am a sucker for mushrooms.
I love tofu soups. It just soaks up the rich flavor of the broth and is delicious.
Miso soup is really comforting to me. I’m so glad I have the cookbook and can make it and many other of the fabulous recipes in it.
Lane, you captured the texture and richness of the “Tofu-Mushroom Miso Soup” beautifully in your photos. Your story about the greens was, I think, a happy accident, because I’m sure that imparted more richness of flavor to your soup. The next time I make it, I’m going to try mixed greens. Kudos to you!
This is a great looking mis soup Lane! I usually just sip the broth when I get it, but this makes me want to eat everything!
I love Asian food & one of my favorites is cold soba noodles with wasabi & scallions. Can’t wait for #SundaySupper @frogger097
Such a simple, yet flavorful soup! It looks delicious, Lane!
What beautiful photos, Lane! And this recipe sounds and looks delicious!
My favorite Asian dish is Mongolian Beef! And my twitter handle is @GourmetDrizzles
Your soup looks amazing! And I love that bowl!
I agree, this soup was fantastic! Your version is absolutely gorgeous
Your soup turned out beautifully! It’s been a long time since I had Miso Soup, but I think I might have to try my hand at this one!
Okay, this looks so amazing. After seeing three bowls in a row, I’m definitely craving it…and think I need to make a run to the market to pick up some miso paste. Today!
Your pictures are gorgeous! This recipe caught my eye. I have never has miso soup or tofu so this recipe is on my to do list!
Miso soup is also one of my weaknesses! Just like you, anytime we are out to sushi I have to start with a bowl of miso soup. . . actually anytime I eat Japanese food period, I have to have a bowl of miso soup! Yours looks delicious!!
Look super delicious. I love miso soup
Your picture is beautiful– and this looks so yummy! I am definitely going to try it!
My favorite dish is Vegetarian Hot & Soup Soup, but after today I think I might have to try the tofu-mushroom miso… I just might have a new favorite! @FF2FFBlog
I love fried rice
@immortalb4
Your soup looks great! I have only had miso soup once before, and it wasn’t my favorite. But we are going to Japan in just a couple days, so I am sure I will get a chance to try some really good stuff there!
This looks lovely. I’m not a huge fan of tofu, but I’d be happy to eat this!
I absolutely love Chicken & Broccoli over Fried Rice! Could eat it everyday! @CarolYemola
We love chicken lettuce wraps! Can’t wait to participate in the #sundaysupper chat on Twitter

My twitter handle is MyKitchenandI. I blog about Asian foods, so would love to win this cookbook. My favorite Asian dish to make (there are so many favorites) are probably the baked stuffed meat buns, which are called Beijing Buns. I’m also a big fan of that tomato egg dish which I understand Chinese eat for dinner, but I like it at breakfast. Next dish I’m going to try is called jian bing, a breakfast type streetfood.
Love the picture of your soup, btw. Beautiful!
My fave are Thai curries Red or Green
Your dish looks and sounds amazing!! Cannot wait to try
This looks seriously delicious. I love the idea of tofu soup.
I am loving the addition of kale and eggs to the miso soup! Miso soup is my weakness too!
That soup looks so perfect right now since I am sick!
YUM! I know what to do with all that extra Miso I now own!
Yum! This looks better than take out! Love all the ingredients, can’t wait to make it!
