Traditional Miso Soup

Miso soup. Nothing else quite warms the heart in the same way. It's comforting heat, and the delicious, umami-packed flavour make it a soup worth craving.
The best part is, its insanely customisable! The photographed soup is made with dried Wakame seaweed, and some silken tofu (firm tofu works too).
However, one of our personal favourites is the pumpkin miso soup, so keep an eye out for that recipe in the future! 😉

    Looks good! Isn’t the tofu traditionally cut into smaller cubes?

    Oh, also “its” should be “it’s” on line 3.

      We tend to change the tofu sizes depending on the day / firmness of the tofu, but you may be right! Thank you for the spell check 😉
