Miso Peanut Butter Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Soup Base

01 - 1 heaping tablespoon of peanut butter
02 - 1 teaspoon of grated garlic
03 - 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
04 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
05 - 1 tablespoon miso paste
06 - 1 cup of lite coconut milk
07 - 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth, separated
08 - 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce

→ Noodles and Vegetables

09 - Optional: Baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
10 - 4-6 oz uncooked ramen noodles

→ Optional Garnishes

11 - Sesame seeds
12 - Corn
13 - Sliced green onions
14 - Julienned carrots
15 - A drizzle of chili oil

# Instructions:

01 - Heat a small pot of water until it’s bubbling. Add the ramen noodles and bok choy, if using, and cook the noodles following the instructions on the packaging (usually 2-3 minutes). The bok choy cooks in the same time as the noodles but can be taken out earlier for extra crunch. Drain well and put aside.
02 - Get a medium saucepan warm over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the grated garlic and ginger. Stir and let them cook for about 2 minutes or just until you can start smelling their aroma—don’t let the garlic burn!
03 - Stir the peanut butter and miso into the saucepan. Slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of hot veggie broth (or water) and mix until smooth. Let it cook for 1 minute so everything combines nicely.
04 - Add the coconut milk and the remaining veggie broth into the pot. Let it gently bubble for 5 minutes to get all the flavors mixed together. Stir in some soy sauce to your liking, starting with 1 tablespoon. Taste and add more if needed.
05 - Split the cooked noodles and bok choy between two bowls. Carefully pour the hot broth over the top. Add garnishes like green onions, sesame seeds, corn, julienned carrots, or a splash of chili oil. Serve while piping hot.

# Notes:

01 - You can make this hearty ramen in just 20 minutes—great for busy nights.
02 - For the best taste, use fresh grated ginger and garlic, but pre-grated works too.
03 - The dish is written to be completely vegetarian and vegan.
04 - Swap in gluten-free ramen noodles and tamari for a gluten-free version.
