Gentle Miso Soup with Silken Tofu and Spinach

Miso soup is naturally a light, broth-based dish, and this version leans into that by keeping everything soft: silken tofu that barely needs chewing, wilted spinach, and just enough miso to give the broth its familiar savory depth. The trick to keeping miso gentle is never letting it boil hard, which is why it's whisked in off the heat.

Firm tofu and miso paste are both genuinely low-FODMAP in the portions used here, and there's no onion or garlic bulb anywhere in the pot — just scallion greens for a light finishing touch. It's a soup built to be easy on a sensitive gut rather than punchy or salty.

Serve it as a starter alongside a simple rice bowl, or on its own as a light lunch. It comes together in twenty minutes and reheats gently over low heat if you have leftovers.
