Creamy Miso Noodle Soup Recipe
2013
This soup recipe is for one of my favorite soups. Miso soup is a raw soup, but I usually heat it up in a pot on the stove, being very careful not to get it too hot. Which is a little tricky and requires that you watch it. My rule of thumb about heating raw soups is to use your own skin, or finger, as a guideline. If the water is too hot and will hurt you it will start destroying the valuable enzymes in food too. Also, miso is a fermented food filled with probiotics and so we really want to keep those alive, because they are so great for our own digestive systems.
This miso noodle soup is made with kelp noodles which I find a special parts of the recipe. When the miso noodles soften they get slippery, something like real noodles and have a great texture and mouth feel. Also, they are clear and just plain fun to eat, especially with chopsticks. That being said, if you do not have kelp noodles you can use spiralized zuchini noodles.
