I love miso soup. It was one of the first recipes I learned on my own after I moved out of my parent’s house. It’s so simple to make, and you can make it with almost any vegetables. The only thing you must have is miso paste.

Miso paste comes in different varieties, but the three most commonly available in North America are white, yellow and red. It is made from fermented soybeans and usually a grain like rice or barley. All miso impart a yummy umami flavour to the foods to which they are added. In this recipe I used red miso. It’s the easiest to find in most supermarkets.

Description

This soup is perfect for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone who just wants to toss together a quick meal. However, anyone on a gluten-free or paleo diet will need to read the ingredients on the miso paste before using. There are some brands that use seaweed instead of grain, so look for those if you want to make this soup.

 

As it stands, this recipe is incredibly low in calories at just 95 calories per serving, so you are free to add anything you like. One of my favourite additions are beef or pork dumplings.
