My midweek Miso Soup


One of my favourite ingredients is Miso paste and you can do so much with this beautiful fermented paste and one of my favourite recipes is this soup. I make it a lot at work and at home. It is a quick weeknight treat. Filling, healthy and light. Even children will enjoy it and you can add as little or as much noodles to this soup for them to enjoy. Have fun playing with this soup you can add any vegetable you want. Carrots and courgettes are also great in this soup.
