Ingredients

  • 1 organic rutabaga cut up
  • 1 organic turnip cut up
  • 1 organic small butternut squash peeled, seeded, cut up
  • 1 small organic daikon radish cut up
  • 1 small organic sweet potato cut up
  • 3 dried shitake mushrooms
  • 3 slices ginger
  • 3 cups water or dashi
  • 1 3" piece kombu
  • sea salt or soy sauce to taste
  • miso optional

Instructions

  1. Arrange vegetables, mushrooms, and kombu in the bottom of a large pot. Tuck ginger slices between vegetables. Pour dashi on top (enough so there is 1-2" of liquid in the pot) and season with a little sea salt or soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and cook until vegetables are tender, about 25-30 minutes.

    Serve with extra soy sauce on the side if you wish.
