The past few days have been quite hectic running around in the city and taking care of errands. Today was no different – about to head over to the “International Serious Eats Day” in Brooklyn; and when I don’t have much time to cook, a quick soup is usually what I make.
This is a quick and comforting meal you can easily alter. Sliced mushrooms and bean sprouts would work well in this recipe for example. You can find soba noodles and miso paste in most grocery or health food stores in the Asian aisle.

This looks amazing and healthy! thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙂
I am hearing a lot of good things about how miso adds texture, creaminess and flavor to a lot of dishes, soups particularly. I am ready to try this firsthand. This looks like a great recipe to try.
Thank you! You should definitely try it out, it’s so easy and you can alter the ingredients to your taste.
I just bought some miso paste so I can finally start making my own miso soup! Can’t wait to try this!
Awesome, Vicky! Let me know how your soup turns out 🙂
Mmm…I could totally gobble this up and still feel healthy. 🙂
Yes, it’s definitely a dish you won’t be stuffed from and still feel satisfied!
These noodles look really good! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this recipe! I chopped and measurd the night before and threw this together in 10mins flat for my husband and two kids. Nothing but love all around, even from the 2 and 5 year old. Adding to my regular dinner rotation.
Awww, so happy your husband and kids enjoyed this. Thanks for the nice comment Nina 🙂
What flavor broth? Vegetable chicken beef? Does it matter?
I used vegetable, but chicken would work fine too. Updating the recipe right now. Thanks for the feedback.
Cooked this for dinner tonight. No shrimp (vegetarian) and no green onions so skipped those. Went heavy on the miso paste because we are big miso soup fans. Used fresh udon noodles. Turned out delicious. Happy 10 year old and happy 12 year old. Such a simple idea with so many possibilities. Thank you for the recipe.
That’s great, Jennifer! So glad you and your kids enjoyed it. Yes, it’s such a versatile soup. You can use whatever you have in your kitchen and it will always taste good no matter what you put in.
Thanks for this easy and yummy recipe. I made some additions I thought I would share. I added two raw lemon peels and a pinch of cinnamon to the broth, plus about a tbsp. of lime juice. I also added 2 tbsp. of tamari sauce to the broth and toward the end I threw in about 1.5 cup of cut up bok choy leaves. Thinking I might add kale instead the next time and might double the amount of ginger because I like a bit of kick.
That sounds delicious, Em 🙂 I’ll have to try that sometime!
