Miso Mushroom Soup

Miso mushroom soup takes the beloved Japanese classic and elevates it with tender mushrooms. The fermented miso paste adds incredible umami depth that pairs perfectly with earthy mushrooms. It's healing, warming, and ready in under 30 minutes.

The key is to never boil the miso - add it at the end and keep the heat gentle. Boiling kills the beneficial probiotics and can make the soup bitter. Treat it with care for the best results.
