Mixed Miso Soup Recipe

Miso soup is the most commonly eaten soup dish in Japan. It is made by simmering ingredients such as vegetables, seaweed, and tofu in dashi broth and then dissolving miso paste into the broth.

We are using very simple and standard miso soup ingredients. Ingredients such as tofu, wakame seaweed, and daikon radish do not have very strong flavors on their own, but they soak up the flavor of whatever they are being added to. They are classic ingredients used in miso soup, and they pair perfectly with mixed miso.

Mixed miso is already very balanced on its own. It is not too salty and contains plenty of umami flavor from the combination of different miso used. Though the ingredients we used are simple, they make this miso soup a perfect choice for anytime of the day to pair with your favorite dishes or even eat simply with rice. We hope that you will enjoy our mixed miso soup recipe.
