What is Miso Soup Made Of

Miso Soup is a very healthy Japanese recipe because it’s made of miso paste, which is fermented soybean paste.

Miso is good for you because the fermented soybeans help digestion and provide good probiotics. I like white miso as it’s mildly salty with a tint of sweetness. You may get all the ingredients at a Japanese or Asian food store.

What is in Miso Soup

The soup base is dashi broth, which is a stock made with dried kelp (kombu) and bonita flakes (dried fish flakes). Dashi is the building block of Japanese food.

Other than miso and dashi, you can find ingredients such as tofu, fried tofu puffs, seaweed and scallions in the soup.

How Do You Make Miso Soup

The method is very easy. First, Make the dashi soup base by boiling the kombu and bonito flakes. Strain well. Bring the dashi to boil, then add the seaweed and tofu and cook for 3 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in the miso paste until dissolved. Top with the scallion and serve immediately. Miso soup is good for your health and low in calories, only 143 calories.

  1. I was wondering what white miso you use. I have tried several different types and have never been pleased with the flavor. Please let me know what company you buy.
