In a large heavy pot, combine all the ingredients
above the line. Bring to a boil, then cover, lower the
heat to medium-low, and simmer for
30 minutes. Remove the mushrooms and slice
thinly, discarding the tough portions. Strain the
broth and return it to the pan. Add the tofu and
mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes. Dissolve the miso
in a small amount of the broth, stir it into the soup,
then immediately remove the pot from the heat. Garnish
with minced garlic chive leaves and serve at once.
Substitution for the Chinese garlic chives: 1 clove
garlic and twice as much volumn of fresh chives.

NOTES : This recipe makes one Japanese Miso - a
seawood and mushroom flavored vegetable broth. Strain
the broth and return mushrooms to pot. Then add tofu,
Chinese chives, and agar (a thickener made from
seaweed). Quick soup: check the import section of the
grocery. Buy 1 envelop (or box) Japanese Miso with
Mushroom. Make according to package directions. Taste
and add red pepper flakes and a little rice vinegar to
taste. Add tofu and heat through. The packaged soup
contains the agar to thicken the broth. Do add
Chinese chive. (I've used society garlic - well
cleaned.)
