Hi friends! How have your holidays been? Wonderful, I hope. I’ve been taking it easy with my family for the past few days, meeting up with old friends and savoring every last bite of my chocolate birthday cake (I turned 27 on Christmas).
Today I thought I’d pop in and let you know about my latest post on BHG’s Delish Dish blog, which is a restorative miso and soba noodle soup. It’s sort of like a vegetarian chicken noodle soup with an Asian spin. The soup is remarkably simple to make and, thanks to the irresistible flavors of miso and ginger, had me going back for slurp after slurp.

A restorative miso and soba noodle soup with vegetables, sort of like a vegetarian chicken noodle soup with an Asian spin.
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup water
- 3 ounces soba noodles, broken in half
- 1 (14-ounce) container extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced into small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into bite-size strips
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup fresh snow peas, halved crosswise
- 1 carrot, peeled and ribboned using a vegetable peeler
- For extra spice (optional): additional red pepper flakes and/or sriracha
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine broth and water and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the soba noodles and return to boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tofu, bell pepper, onions, miso, ginger, and ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper. Simmer, covered, for 3 minutes.
- Stir in the halved snow peas and carrot ribbons. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute more or until the peas are crisp-tender.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with additional crushed red pepper and/or a light drizzle of sriracha, if desired.

Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

Happy belated birthday!
Jill
Happy Birthday Kate! How much miso did you add to this recipe?
Kate
Thanks, Jill. I used one tablespoon of miso in this recipe.
January
I would love to make this! I looked around on this post and on the bhg post, and I might be missing it, but is there a recipe written out (ie ingredients list and instructions)? I’m a bit of a novice and that kind of keeps me from messing up! Ha! If not, no biggie, I’ll just compile everything you said with the original recipe and write it down for myself! Thanks for all these great recipes!!!
Kate
I’m sorry for the confusion, January. I just stated my revisions in the BHG post and linked over to their recipe; I’m going to start providing the recipe as I made it in future BHG posts.

It’s not even 10 o’clock in the morning, and I find myself craving some of this soup!

I’m sad to admit that I’ve never had anything with Miso in it- I think it’s time to change that, this soup looks delicious!
Kate
Oh please give miso a try! It’s magical, I mean it.

Thanks for the link–restorative is definitely needed in this quarter, especially when all the holiday cheer has yet to continue (colds during vacation? PAH!).
dixya
love miso soup in general but adding the soba noodles and Asian swing makes this a winner recipe. After all the food over the holidays, its time to get back to the regular routine and this soup is the ultimate starter :) loved the pics
jamie @ GB&G
Happy belated Birthday! I didn’t know we are the same age! Oh and the soup looks AWESOME.
Kasey
I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Kathryne! My grandfather’s birthday is also on Christmas Day, so I have a special place in my heart for Christmas birthdays :) Wishing you a happy, healthy, and love-filled 2013. xoxo
Sonja
Happy Birthday, Kathryne (from both of us!)! Hope the day was wonderful :) This soup looks deliciously restorative – yum! Looking forward to delicious recipes in 2013! XO

Yay, Japanese food! Happy Birthday too :)
I’ve made a lot of noodles in my time living in Tokyo, the results are documented here: http://www.wakemeupwithasmile.wordpress.com
Love the photos! x

Hope you had a lovely birthday! I love miso soup, especially on these cold winter days (especially if there is skiing involved). With noodles, it would be even better, and this looks incredible.
Wishing you a happy New Year!
cara
This is just the kind of meal I’ve been craving!
ASHLEA
This looks so hearty and delicious! I’ve been sick so I made myself some chicken noodle soup and I’ve pretty much overdosed on the stuff. This looks like a fresh variation that I must try this week. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

How long would I be able to keep this?

It should be able to keep in the refrigerator, covered for a few days. Hope this helps!

I made this soup today and all three of my kids loved it. It’s the best miso soup I’ve ever made from scratch. Restaurant quality for sure. Thank you Kate!

Kate
Wonderful! Thank you for your review.
Sasha
Can this be frozen
Kate
I don’t freeze all my recipes, so I can’t say for sure.
Melissa Roht
Such yummy soup, however, on our second meal from the pot I added in a bit of miso gravy and my husband thought it was perfect. I found it perfect either way and I have passed your recipe on to others! Thank you.

I love this recipe. I don’t need to go out for ramen anymore. This is just as delicious as what I get at restaurants.

This was disappointing and made me think it wasn’t tested as written. It was quick and easy but the flavor wasn’t quite right. Maybe more onions and less bell peppers would have been a better balance but I won’t try it again. I have enjoyed the peanut slaw soba salad and quinoa vegetable soup so I was surprised that this one seemed so off. I should have known when the comments were just birthday wishes.

I’m sorry you didn’t love this recipe, Anne.
