Miso is made from soybeans, grains and koji and is widely revered as one of the healthiest foods in the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The macrobiotic dieter will enjoy miso soup for maintaining a healthy body and also for its delicious taste. Read on to discover how to make miso soup for a macrobiotic diet.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Miso paste
  • Organic vegetables
  • Water
  • Soup pot
  • Mirin
  1. Step 1

    Decide on the type of miso to use in the soup. White miso is at the mild end of the taste scale and has not been aged as long as brown miso. The flavor is more intense the longer the miso is aged. Personal preference will dictate the intensity of flavor in the soup.

  2. Step 2

    Wash and chop the organic vegetables for the miso soup. Once again, personal taste will play a part in the type of vegetables that you will use. ****ake mushrooms, carrots, green onion and wakame are popular additions to the miso broth.

  3. Step 3

    Boil water and add vegetables. Cook until vegetables are al dente. Stir in approximately one tablespoon of miso paste until smooth. Taste to ensure that you have enough miso taste. Add more paste if necessary.

  4. Step 4

    Use a splash of mirin to finish off the miso soup. This will add a sweetness and another layer to the already flavorful soup that is recommended in a macrobiotic diet.

Tips & Warnings
  • Read labels of all ingredients and buy vegetables from an organic source to ensure a truly macrobiotic miso soup.
