Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter adds richness and depth to the broth
  • 3-4 pieces scallions thinly sliced, both whites and greens
  • 1 cup cooked white beans use canned beans; include their broth
  • 2 teaspoons light miso provides umami
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice brightens the dish
  • freshly cracked black pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing the scallions thoroughly. Slice the white and green parts separately, as they will be added at different times during the cooking process.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Allow it to bubble slightly but watch closely to prevent it from browning.
  3. Add the sliced white parts of the scallions to the melted butter. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become tender and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the cooked white beans along with their broth. Stir gently to combine with the scallions and butter.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the light miso with a spoonful of the broth from the saucepan to dissolve it. Once dissolved, add this mixture back into the saucepan and stir well.
  6. Squeeze in the lemon juice to brighten the flavor. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Serve in bowls, garnished with the green parts of the scallions for a fresh touch.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the butter with plant-based butter or olive oil.
  • Ensure the miso used is gluten-free if you have dietary restrictions.
  • If the broth is too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth.
  • This dish is perfect for meal prep; store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To make it more filling, add cooked grains like quinoa or rice.
