Ingredients
- ½ sweet yellow onion, diced
- ¼ head green cabbage, diced
- 1 (1-inch) piece wakame, soaked in water for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender, diced
- ½ cup yellow millet, rinsed well
- 4 to 5 cups spring or filtered water
- 2 teaspoons barley miso
- ½ cup organic corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced dark leafy greens, such as kale or collards
- 1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal, for serving
How to Make It
- Layer the onion, cabbage, wakame, and millet in a soup pot. Add the water, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are soft and the millet is creamy, about 25 minutes.
- Remove a small amount of liquid from the pot and use it to dissolve the miso. Stir the miso mixture, corn, and greens into the pot and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered, to activate the enzymes in the miso. Garnish with scallions and serve hot.
