What’s In This Noodle Miso Soup Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Mushrooms, Chili Peppers, Green Onions
- Light Sweet Miso Paste – I love this light and sweet miso paste, I keep a few packs in my pantry for recipes when I want to add a little umami flavor in a pinch. Miso is a paste made from lightly fermented soy beans, and is a classic in soups and Asian dishes. I use light sweet miso paste, and it adds the perfect amount of flavor to this soup!
- Fresh garlic cloves
- Tofu – you can use any type of tofu you like – silken tofu is traditional, but I also like extra firm as well.
- Nori or Dried Seaweed – I like to use crumbled sheets of nori (like the kind you would use to make sushi) in my soups. I always have a pack of nori in my cupboards for when the craving for an avocado roll strikes!
- Tamari: tamari is a gluten-free version of soy sauce. Tamari has a bright salty flavor, and adds a really nice depth of umami to this dish.
What If I Don’t Have Hot Peppers?
Chili paste or sriracha is a great substitution. You can add as much heat as you want, I like a good 3/4 teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha in my soup for a great kick.
One Pot Miso Soup For the Win!
This vegan and gluten free spicy miso soup recipe is the perfect one-pot lunch or dinner! I love a good One Pot Meal, especially during these summer months when I don’t want a lot of burners going at once. Cooking everything in one pot is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast! And one pot makes cleaning up a breeze.
The stove does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. One Pot meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other one pot meals that are ready in no time!
How Do I Make Miso Soup with Chilis?
- In a large saucepan bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Using a garlic press, press the 4 cloves of garlic right into the boiling water. Slice the mushrooms and add to pot, cook for 5 minutes. Add the chili peppers (or chili paste/sriracha), cubed tofu, green onions, and tamari, and cook for 5 minutes longer.
- Then spoon into the miso paste and cook for 3 more minutes- the soup has a better flavor if the miso is added at the end.
- Serve in a large bowl, top with extra nori seaweed strips and green onions, and serve!
