Miso Soup with Taro and Chicken

Miso Soup with Taro and Chicken

Today’s miso soup features Satoimo, Japanese taro, and chicken. Soft and fluffy, or sometimes sticky, taro is a satisfyingly filling ingredient for miso soup. You may find it a little troublesome to peel taro since it may cause your skin to itch sometimes. Feel free to use gloves if you prefer. Along with the taro, we’ve added chicken thigh pieces; they complement each other very well. However, you can substitute chicken breast or chicken tender if you prefer a healthier option. While chicken thigh adds a rich flavor to the soup, lean chicken will also contribute pleasant umami. If you come across taro, give this miso soup a try. You’re sure to enjoy it!
