Miso-Tahini Soup

What an unusual and delightful little soup. I've been very interested recently in making use of the unique ingredients we have in our fridge. I noticed we had both tahini and miso going unused so I looked up ways to use them. Lo and behold, I found one recipe that used them both! How fortunate!

Introducing Miso-Tahini Soup: a quick to make soup with a delicate broth. I substituted quinoa for brown rice, but imagine rice would have been a pleasantly different texture among the otherwise soft ingredients. The soup has cooked turnip and delicata squash ladled over the rice. The broth is then poured over those ingredients. I substituted red miso for the white miso the recipe called for, using a bit less than suggested, and it turned out fine. Then the soup is topped with sliced avocado, green onion, sesame seeds and crumbled seaweed.

A nice way to mix things up and intrigue the palate.
