This Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup is a quick and easy, veggie-packed take on your favourite ramen. For a more complete meal, simply add your protein of choice!
This recipe features two of my pantry essentials during our colder months — white miso (soybean) paste and Japanese buckwheat (soba) noodles. More than just a delicious way to make one of our all time favourite restaurant meals at home, it’s nourishing, hydrating and a little heartier thanks to the buckwheat noodles.
We love that the garlicky, ginger-infused broth in this Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup has also become a go-to immunity booster for us during the colder months. It truly makes the perfect, cozy weekend or game day lunch.
To make it a more filling meal, we love to top it with a 7- minute soft-boiled egg or stir in 100-150g firm tofu (pressed and cubed) or rotisserie chicken together with the spinach just before serving.
