Miso Ginger Soup

We've been getting pelted by colds and coughs for the last several months. Little M finds this soup the most appetizing and comforting among all the foods offered to him. 

Ingredients 

2 C water

1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger

Handful of cilantro( leaves and stems) finely minced

1/8 tsp fresh ground pepper

1 allspice, crushed

1 star anise

3 scallions, sliced

1/3 C tofu cubes

1/2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp Miso paste

Method 

Bring all ingredients except for the soy sauce and the miso to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 min. In a small bowl, dissolve the miso paste in a few tablespoons of the broth. Turn off the heat and return the dissolved miso into the main pot. Add soy sauce to taste and serve immediately.
