Miso soup doesn’t ever need to impress, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. It’s simple and deeply comforting. With just a few ingredients and a short cooking time, it fits easily into everyday cooking.

What makes miso soup so nourishing is its balance. It’s savory without being heavy, the tofu is soft and delicate, and the seaweed adds just enough texture.
