• 1-1/3 cups canned white beans
• 1/4 cup garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup muji miso
• 1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
• 1 cup scallions, chopped
• 2/3 cup water or vegetable stock
• 1-1/2 cups soy milk

Combine first 3 ingredients in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. If using a blender, add water to facilitate the process. Add basil, scallions, soy milk and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Blend. Transfer to a saucepan and stir in kudzu and water (if it was not added while puréeing). Heat briefly to thicken, but do not boil. Serve over rice, millet, quinoa, or pasta.
