Kelly JensenThis 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!

Make Chili Miso Soup Vegan
This spicy miso soup is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and tastyrecipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

- 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 this light sweet miso paste, and it adds the perfect amount of flavor to this soup! It also lasts forever in your fridge or pantry, so I always keep a few around!
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Shelf Stable Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon.
- 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 this 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. If I am cooking for a crowd, I always use this tamari in my recipes just in case anyone at the table has a gluten allergy, so everyone can enjoy this meal.
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!
