You may be wondering what is miso soup made of.
A lot of the flavor in miso soup comes from the miso paste that is added to it.
Miso paste is a rather salty tasting taste that is made from fermented soybeans.
Researchers suggest that it is okay to consume miso for health benefits.
For starters, miso has protein, fiber, as well as many vitamins in it. Even better, experts tell us that miso contains probiotics and anti-inflammatory properties that may be especially beneficial for fighting breast cancer (isoflavones can lower the risk of breast cancer).
This recipe is especially for anyone asking how do you make soup from scratch.
Making soup from scratch is more simple than you may think it it.
However, making soup that looks and tastes good from scratch can be tricky for some.
The secret to making good tasting soup from scratch is having a balance of ingredients and flavors.
The balance of ingredients includes water to add-ins such as vegetables or pasta. The balance of flavors means to some, the balance of salt that does not take over the other flavors added by the other ingredients.

Tips for making instant pot soup.
I just mentioned that part of making a successful soup has to do with a balance of ingredients. When it comes to making soup in an instant pot however, adjustments need to be made because there is less evaporation of water from cooking.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- Fish sauce is a common ingredient that is used in miso soup. You can find fish sauce here or vegan fish sauce here .
- This recipe for miso soup does not include the traditional dashi .
Dashi granules do contain fish flakes. You can find vegan dashi here. - This soup can be made in advance of serving. Some pots will simply switch to a ‘warm’ setting or you can manually switch yours to warm using the “Keep Warm” setting. Please refer to the manual to learn more about using the warm setting on your pot and for how long you can use it for.
You will probably ask what is Nori made of.
It is common for traditional miso soup to have seaweed in it.
Nori is a shredded seaweed that has been pressed into sheets.
You do have a few options if you do not want to add nori to your soup.
If you are like me and do not live by any source of fresh seaweed, you can try using kale, spinach, or even prepackaged dried seaweed.
Lastly, you may also wonder where can I find miso paste.
If you do not live by an Asian market of a market that sells Asian food, you can purchase miso paste online.
You can find lower sodium versions of miso paste here.
