A variation on the original miso soup (which, by the way is a great soup base in itself), this hearty vegetarian soup is really easy to make with readily available ingredients. I like to keep kale or some seaweed in my pantry, as the kids love it. You need to use relatively firm tofu and depending on how much “stuff” you want in your soup, you can add more or less. Here’s my take on this soup – hearty. I love to eat seaweed and I love tofu, so I really made this soup rich, thick and packed with protein. Optional additions include fresh scallions, scallops or shrimps.

What’s involved?
Any benefits?
  • This is a great soup base for other additional ingredients.
  • Excellent for children and great source of protein
  • It’s a super easy soup to make with a good balance of amino acids, and B Vitamins
  • It is a naturally salty addition (so no salt needed), but do use the miso paste in moderation
