prep

INSTRUCTIONS: 



In a large pot over medium-high heat, add oil until hot. Add the onion, leeks, carrot, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt to help release the moisture of the vegetables and reduce the heat to a medium-low.



Add the bacon and cook over low heat to render the fat, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add the parmesan rind, chicken broth, miso paste, and optional kombu and bonito flakes. Bring to a low simmer,

 

cover, and cook for 30 to 45 minutes. For a stronger flavor, simmer for an additional 30 minutes to an hour. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard solids.



Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles (remove packet) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are just tender, 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and divide into two separate bowls. Ladle the hot broth on top. Top each bowl with garnishes.
