Spinach and Miso Soup
http://1tess.wordpress.com
This is not a traditional miso soup! Ms. Shimbo was experimenting to produce a creamy miso soup that did not separate. The bright green color is astonishing; somehow it is brighter and more saturated than spinach in its natural state. You will notice that I used cherry-blossom shaped fu, rather than the croutons recommended in [...]

When I was thinking about what to make for Rosh Hashanah, I looked back to what I did last year—traditions make the holidays. Hmm… does twice makes a tradition? This soup is so good, one should really make it more than once a year.An irrelevant side-note: did you notice the word avgolemono ends in ‘mono‘ just as many of the Japanese cooking techniques I have on this blog (see my side-bar): agemono, yakimono, nabemono, mushimono, tsukemono, gohanmono! Synchronicity!

Happy Birthday
So another day of labor, not nearly so long as above, and I was hungry for dinner. A small piece of salmon, and some shrimp were in the freezer, some dill and asparagus were in the fridge. I took inspiration from the seafood miso soup we ate during the winter holidays, and though I had no lobster, the meal was easy to prepare for one and quite satisfiying.

Seafood Miso Soup
This is my favorite miso soup. It’s the holiday season, and my daughter is visiting. Miso soup with salmon or shrimp is delicious, but add lobster and it becomes soup for a celebration!
Ms. Shimbo points out that this expensive soup “goes against the conception of miso soup as an everyday food for every person.”
Though this soup is suitable for a special occasion, it’s easy to make so you’ll have plenty to energy for other festivities beyond the table.
Oh happy new year to all!
