Recipe notes
Always add miso at the end of cooking, and take care not to boil the soup after incorporating it. This preserves its subtle aromas and nutritional benefits.
This soup goes very well with a bowl of white rice or onigiri for a complete, balanced meal. You can also accompany it with a light green tea for a comforting, balanced meal.
Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat it gently in a saucepan, avoiding boiling to preserve the miso flavor.
