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.
