Is miso soup just miso paste and hot water? ›

Miso soup is deceptively simple. It contains just a handful of ingredients: fermented bean paste (a.k.a. miso), vegetables, and hot water or stock.

Boiling miso can harm the probiotic bacteria. At temperatures above 115 degrees Fahrenheit these delicate bacteria are destroyed. We recommend adding miso paste to soups just prior to serving.

Simply crack an egg into your instant miso soup and let it cook for a few minutes before stirring it in. You can also add diced onion, mushrooms, and green onion.

You can keep it for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. You can freeze miso soup for up to 2 weeks. However, you have to remove the tofu before freezing as the texture will change. To reheat, see the above section for reheating tips.

A general rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon per cup (U.S. measure, 236.5ml) or 1/4 l (250ml) but if you have a very salty red miso for example, you may need less. So when you are trying out a new miso, always add less than you think you need.

It's hard to say what “healthy” means but, in general, instant miso soup is good and healthy for your health. Miso is a fermented ingredient. Vegetables that have been dried are high in fiber. Some people were concerned that Miso paste might contain MSG.

Heat Up The Broth – To a small pot over medium heat add the bone broth and miso paste. I like to do 1 -1 1/2 tbsp of miso per 2 1/2 cups of broth. Add or remove based on personal preference.

Why does my miso soup taste sour? ›

Sour Taste

If the taste has changed from when you purchased it, it is evidence that it has gone bad and you should stop eating it. To avoid food poisoning, do not eat miso that has a sour smell, sour taste, or mold growth.

Tip. Don't bring the soup to a boil! Because miso is a fermented food, it's teeming with probiotics. Boiling miso kills these beneficial bacteria, so you'll miss out on some of its health benefits.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

So, how long can I keep miso? Miso is a “preservative food,” that can be kept for a long period of time due to its salt content. If kept in your refrigerator, miso itself does not go bad. In terms of the quality of the taste, miso should remain relatively consistent for up to one year.
