Ingredients
  

Roasted Vegetables

  • 1 scant cup 1-1/2" pieces asparagus (thin spears if possible)
  • 1/2 cup quartered medium-sized radishes (halved if small)
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil, or other high smoke point oil (enough to lightly coat)

Soup

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (refined or unrefined) or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon microplaned or minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cups high-quality low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons white miso paste (make sure you use a gluten-free product for a gluten-free recipe)
  • 7 ounces cubed silken tofu (1/2 package)
  • 1 lightly packed cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon snipped (finely sliced) chives
  • 2 teaspoons liquid aminos or low sodium tamari, or taste

Toppings

  • Thinly sliced fresh radish
  • Snipped chives
  • Toasted sesame oil, for drizzling
  • Black sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • Place the quartered radishes on a parchment-lined rimmed metal baking sheet. Toss the vegetables in 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil, or enough to lightly coat.
  • Roast for 10 minutes, then carefully toss in the asparagus with another 1/2 teaspoon of avocado oil. Roast for 10 more minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-small pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, reduce the heat to low and cook for one minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth then bring to a simmer. Remove 1/3 cup of broth and set aside.
  • Gently add the tofu to the soup and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • When the reserved 1/3 cup broth cools slightly, whisk in the miso paste.
  • Remove the vegetable broth and tofu from heat, then stir in the spinach and miso mixture.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon chives, and season with liquid aminos or tamari to taste.
  • Spoon the soup into a bowl, then top with the roasted vegetables, sliced fresh radish, more chives, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
