Ingredients

2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1/2 cup, finely diced carrots
1/2 cup, finely diced celery
1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
to taste salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups chicken stock to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 cup finely diced carrots, 1/2 cup finely diced celery, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger; simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until vegetables are completely tender and dissolved into the liquid.
Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon white miso paste until fully dissolved—do not boil to preserve delicate flavor. Season with salt to taste.
Step 3: Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently on solids to extract all liquid; this ensures the broth remains crystal clear while the vegetables are fully integrated.
