A comforting and zingy miso soup with fresh lemon and ginger. Perfect when under the weather or needing a quick pick-me-up. Ready in 5 minutes and serves 2.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons miso paste (white preferred)
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (half a lemon)
  • 1.25 teaspoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, mix together the miso paste with 1/4 cup of the water. Whisk until well blended with no lumps remaining.
  2. Add the remaining 1.25 cups water, then stir in the ginger, lemon juice, tamari, and toasted sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat soup over medium-low heat until warm, about 5 minutes. Do not allow it to boil, as this destroys the beneficial probiotics in miso.
  4. Once warm, pour into two bowls and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and finely chopped green onions.

Notes

  • White miso paste works best for this recipe due to its sweet, delicate flavor that complements the lemon.
  • Never boil the soup to preserve probiotic benefits from the miso paste.
  • Fresh ginger is essential for maximum flavor and healing properties.
  • Can add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or tofu during warming step.
