Directions
- Combine all ingredients including the onion peels except the miso, tofu and kabocha squash.

- While the vegetables are simmering, place the kabocha squash into a saucepan. Add water to cover up to half of the squash, cover and steam until the squash flesh is soft.
- Pour the kabocha broth into the other vegetable broth. Save the kabocha to eat as a side vegetable with a dribble of coconut oil and sea salt.
