Miso Poblano Vegetable Soup

by Bell Market Chef Erika

Market Ingredients: 

• 6 carrots, peeled and diced (@simple_promise_farms)

• 1 poblano pepper, de-seeded and diced (@b5farm)

• 1 bunch Swiss chard, roughly chopped (@simple_promise_farms)

• 4 medium tomatoes, diced (@southernstarfarms_tx)

Other ingredients:

• 4 Tbl red miso paste

• 1 Tbl olive oil

• 4 cups vegetable broth

• Salt

• Pepper  

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrots, poblano pepper, and tomatoes along with a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until soft and tomatoes are broken down a bit.

2. Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then add chard and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 25 minutes.

3. Remove from heat. Dissolve miso paste into 4 Tbl warm water (not boiling), then pour into pot. Ladle into bowls and serve. Pro tip: adding the miso paste once the soup is off the heat will prevent the beneficial probiotics from being killed!
