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!

Miso Soup with Soy Milk

Miso Soup with Soy Milk

Today’s Miso soup is with soy milk. Unsweetened soy milk is the base for this soup, and it gives the soup a mild creamy flavor. Miso paste and soy milk are both made from soy beans, and of course they blend in perfect harmony. Together with Abuuraage thin fried Tofu, this is a triple soy-licious dish! Because Kombu sea kelp Dashi and Shimeji mushrooms add extra depth to the flavor, there’s no need to add any animal-derived ingredients. Miso Soup with Soy Milk is packed with Umami flavor, and it’s a vegetarian and vegan friendly soup (But it’s hearty enough to satisfy meat eaters too). Hope you like it!

Miso Soup with Salmon and Daikon

Miso Soup with Salmon and Daikon

Today’s miso soup is made with salmon and daikon. Fresh salmon fillet is cut into bite size pieces and cooked with daikon radish in savory dashi broth and seasoned with miso paste.

Daikon is a long white Japanese radish, and it’s used in a variety of Japanese dishes such as pickles, salad, stew, and soup. As the name Daikon in Japanese literally means “large root” (大根), once you buy a whole daikon, it can be transformed into multiple dishes. Miso soup is a great way to use up a leftover piece of daikon in the fridge.

Miso Soup with Somen Noodles

Miso Soup with Somen Noodles

Today’s miso soup is with Somen Noodles. Somen are dried thin vermicelli noodles made mainly from wheat flour. They are most often eaten cold in summer, but are nice in hot soup too. Because Somen are so thin, the cooking time is very fast. And that means they will get soft if left sitting in soup too long. Add the cooked noodles to the soup just before serving. If you like this soup as a simple meal by itself, increase the amount of Somen. It’ll become a very easy lunch. We hope you like it!
