Miso soup is one of my favorite dishes to make at home. It’s easy, it’s comforting and it’s delicious! I like to serve this on really cold winter days when we’re feeling under the weather or just have a bit of a chill in our bones. It’s also great for warming up if you’ve had too many spicy dishes on your next trip to Asia (which happens more often than you’d think). The miso provides a lot of flavor and nutrients, plus there are lots of other ingredients that can be added into this dish to give it an even richer taste. Ready? Let’s get started!

Add water to your bowl or mug.
Use a mug or bowl that is large enough to hold the miso soup. Add enough water to cover the tofu, about 1/4 cup for each serving of miso soup. If you don’t have a measuring cup handy, just eyeball it by pouring enough into your mug until it reaches about 1/4 inch from the top edge of your dish (or whichever container you’re using).
