Recipe highlights
Tips
- If you don’t have miso paste on hand, use 1 L (4 cups) of lower sodium vegetable broth instead of 1 L (4 cups) of water at step 3.
- You can use any leftover vegetables you have in the fridge such as mushrooms, potatoes and snow peas.
- Turn this meal into lunch by adding 375 mL (1 ½ cups) of cooked whole wheat elbow pasta to the whole recipe.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or 4 months in the freezer. Allow soup to cool completely before putting the lid on.
- Remember, a little salt goes a long way. Taste the food before adding any salt.
