For some reason, I had it in my head that miso soup was hard to make. I enjoy it at restaurants, but when I tried making instant miso soup with a ‘just add water’ mix if didn’t taste as good as fresh. Now that I know how easy it is to make fresh homemade soup, I can make enough for the whole family or even just a small amount for a single serving in just a a few minutes.
I used red soy bean paste this time. There are a wide variety of types and brands that can be substituted.
