This Spicy Miso Soup recipe is a bright and flavorful soup, loaded with comforting ingredients in a rich miso broth. This soup is made with chilis, mushrooms, tofu, fresh garlic, nori, and light sweet miso paste for a fantastic flavor.

This soup makes a fantastic starter, or a light lunch with a side salad.

This spicy miso soup is a bright & fiery starter, great when we want something simple, quick, and super yummy – and hot! We grew Malaysian chili peppers in our garden, and we’ve been adding them to everything! They give this soup some definite heat.

There’s so much good stuff in here, I always feel super cozy after having a big bowl. The soup contains mushrooms, greens, garlic, peppers, and miso. Its a wonderfully light dish that brings some serious flavor!

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?

1. 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.
2. 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. 
3. Serve in a large bowl, top with extra nori seaweed strips and green onions, and serve!
