4 cups vegetable stock
24 well-washed spinach leaves
1/2 pound soft, medium or firm bean curd, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 scallions, cut into very fine rings (use both white and green portions)
2 1/2 to 4 tablespoons miso
Pinch of cayenne

Put the stock into a medium pot and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach leaves and bring to a simmer again. Cook until the leaves wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bean curd and scallions. Simmer for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low.

Put the miso in a small sieve and lower it into the soup (you may have to move the bean curd pieces aside). Push the miso through with a spoon.

Turn off the heat, stir once, sprinkle with cayenne and serve.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.
