This Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup is a quick and easy, veggie-packed take on ramen that you can make in your own kitchen. For a more complete meal, simply add your protein of choice!
This recipe features two of my pantry essentials during our colder months — white miso (soybean) paste and Japanese buckwheat (soba) noodles. More than just a delicious way to make one of our all time favourite restaurant meals at home, it’s nourishing, hydrating and a little heartier thanks to the buckwheat noodles.
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup
- Avocado or extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- Freshly grated ginger
- 6 cups water
- White (shiro) miso
- Soy sauce (swap for tamari or coconut aminos)
- Cremini mushrooms
- Buckwheat (soba) noodles
- 1 carrot
- Baby spinach
- Optional toppings — green onions sliced on the bias, sesame seeds and/or daikon radish microgreens
What is white (shiro) miso?
White miso is a fermented paste made with rice and soybeans and forms the base for a lot of Japanese recipes. It has a mild umami flavour with a nutty sweetness that works well in soups, noodle dishes and dressings. Some versions are made with barley, wheat or other grains and contain gluten, so be sure to read the label if you’re looking for a gluten free option.
The garlicky, ginger-infused broth in this Miso Vegetable Noodle Soup has also become a go-to immunity booster for us during the colder months. To make it a more filling meal, top it with a 7-minute soft-boiled egg, or stir in 100-150g firm tofu (pressed and cubed) or rotisserie chicken together with the spinach just before serving. It truly makes the perfect cozy weekend or game day lunch!
