What Is Miso Soup?

Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup that starts with a dashi stock and is flavored with miso paste. Dashi is an umami-rich stock made from dried seaweed and dried fish. Miso paste, meanwhile, is a paste made from soybeans, salt, and koji rice.

The brothy soup usually contains tofu and green onions. It can also feature seaweed, mushrooms, daikon, and more.

Miso soup is traditionally served with rice.

Best Miso Paste for Miso Soup

Miso paste comes in red, white, and yellow varieties. The type you use for soup is up to you and your preferences, but restaurants usually use red miso because it has the deepest flavor.

How to Make Miso Soup From Miso Paste

Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make classic miso soup at home:

1. Bring the water and dashi granules to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and whisk in miso paste.
3. Stir in the tofu and green onions.
4. Simmer and serve.

 

How to Store Miso Soup

Allow the miso soup to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.

 

Can You Freeze Miso Soup?

Yes! Miso soup freezes well. Transfer the cooled soup to zip-top bags or ice trays, then freeze for up to two months. If you use freezer bags, make sure you leave about an inch of room at the top to allow for expansion.

We recommend adding the tofu and green onions after you thaw the soup.

 

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“Easy to make and tasty,” according to Brownie5. “Made it for my husband when he wasn’t feeling well. Wanted to give him something else instead of the chicken noodle soup he’s been drinking. The tofu is a good source of protein to fill his stomach.”

“I was looking to replicate the taste of restaurant miso soup at home,” says Earnest Cavalli. “This does the job perfectly. That said, I prefer firm tofu to silky, but that’s a personal taste thing. Either works great in this recipe.”

“I’ve made this several times now and always make a huge batch to freeze,” according to lnos. “Made it exactly with the addition of seaweed. Love this!!”
