Ingredients
- 4 cups water, including shiitake soaking water
- 1 package Eden Whole Shiitake Mushrooms, soaked in hot water to cover 20 minutes, reserve soaking water
- 1/2 cup onions, thinly sliced
- 3" piece Eden Wakame
or 1 teaspoon Eden Instant Wakame Flakes - 1 1/2 cups Hokkaido Pumpkin, cubed
Red Kuri or any winter squash - 1 1/2 Tbsp Eden Shiro Miso, dissolved in 2 T. cold water,

Directions
Remove stems from shiitake and discard. Slice caps thin or quarter. Place water and shiitake soaking water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Rinse wakame, soak in cold water to cover for 5 minutes and dice. If using instant wakame flakes, add directly to the pot; no soaking required. Add onions and wakame. Simmer 3 minutes. Add squash and simmer 5 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat to very low. Add puréed miso and simmer 2 minutes without boiling. Serve garnished with green onions.

Eden Mugi, Hacho, or Shiro Miso may be substituted for Genmai. You may need to use just slightly more miso, 1/2 teaspoon, if using shiro.
