Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add carrots and chicken pieces. Cook for 3–4 minutes to lightly sear the chicken.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes until chicken is cooked and carrots are tender.
  5. Add spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove pot from heat.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk miso paste with a ladle of hot broth until smooth. Stir back into the soup.
  7. Add sesame oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Add miso after removing the soup from heat to preserve its flavor and nutrients.
  • Use chicken thighs for a richer flavor if preferred.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be used to save time—just add during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
  • For extra heartiness, add cooked rice or rice noodles just before serving.
  • Avoid boiling the soup after adding miso to maintain its delicate flavor.
