Easy Miso Soup

A super simple, hearty, and easy miso soup that can be made from pantry ingredients. In our experience, it also makes a great cold remedy!

Japanese Superfood Miso Soup

This Superfood miso soup uses a homemade dashi stock made with dried kombu (kelp), shiitake mushrooms, and bonito flakes. Add soft tofu, lots of healthy spinach, scallions, and miso results in a much heartier miso soup than your favorite Japanese restaurant or sushi place.

Rustic Miso Soup With Tofu and Seaweed

Bolder than your average miso soup, this version, inspired by one made at the Brooklyn restaurant Ganso Yaki, achieves its rich flavor with a robust dashi and blend of both dark and mild miso. Consider using hatcho miso for the dark one—it's a dense, heartier style made strictly with soybeans (as opposed to both rice and soybeans).

Miso Soup With Mixed Seasonal Vegetables

Inspired by the ever-changing seasonal miso soup that Okonomi restaurant in Brooklyn serves for breakfast, this bright, colorful version is a celebration of market produce. You can swap out the vegetables in this recipe for trimmings from last night's dinner, or use whatever is in season—just be sure to use a mix of colors and vegetable parts, such as a leaf, a root, and a stem.

Miso-Squash Soup With Sesame-Ginger Apples

Most soups based on squash aim to intensify its sweet flavors by first caramelizing its sugars in the oven. Not this one. Inspired by a classic Japanese appetizer, this soup zeroes in on the nutty, earthy flavors of squash by simply simmering it in an aromatic dashi broth.

Miso Soup With Clams

The briny juice of asari (Manila clams) is the star of this sophisticated miso soup, which is based on one served at Manhattan's EN Japanese Brasserie. Unlike many other kinds of dashi, the version here relies on clams instead of the more commonly used shaved bonito flakes.
