Ingredients

• 2–3 tbsp white or yellow miso paste

2. Step 2: Add the ginger and garlic (if using) and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse the flavors.
3. Step 3: Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly—avoid boiling after adding miso to preserve its beneficial enzymes.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with a bit of warm broth to smooth it out, then stir this mixture back into the pot.

Tips & Variations

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
• Use low-sodium broth to control salt levels and enhance the delicate flavors.
• Swap lemon juice with lime for a different citrus note.
• To make it more filling, add soft tofu cubes or cooked rice noodles.

Storage

Store leftover broth in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat without boiling to maintain the miso’s nutrients and flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use water instead of broth?

Yes, water works fine if you prefer a lighter flavor or don’t have broth on hand. Adding soy sauce or tamari helps add depth.

Why shouldn’t I boil the broth after adding miso?

Boiling miso destroys its beneficial probiotics and enzymes. Adding it off heat or at a low temperature keeps these nutrients intact.

• You can use either vegetable or bone broth depending on your dietary preferences; water can be used for a lighter version.
• Optional garlic adds depth and additional immune-boosting properties.
• This broth is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently without boiling.
• For a vegan option, make sure to use vegetable broth and tamari instead of soy sauce if gluten-free is needed.
