I love finding recipes to some of my favorite take out foods like Easy Homemade Miso Soup.
When my friend posted her recipe for easy homemade Miso soup, I couldn’t resist.
I ran out and purchased what I needed and made it the next day.
This homemade Miso soup is so easy to make – only requiring four ingredients and it can be made in about 15 minutes.
You can add additional veggies to it, or cooked rice if you like, but I like the standard soup. Lots of flavor, and it’s pretty darn healthy too.
It stood up to my taste tester, and will be made again and again. It’s that good.

This looks really good. The Homemade Miso Soup looks tasty. Ill try it out. Thanks for sharing.
Miso should be treated gently because this is a fermented food full of live healthy organisms. Boiling kills them so once you add the miso make sure you dont boil it.
