Tips & Warnings
Miso has a tendency of separating from water when it cools. Make sure to stir the miso soup while you heat up the frozen leftovers.
A home freezer takes some time to freeze contents. If you are freezing miso soup with vegetables or tofu, crystals will rip through the cellular structure when the ice forms. This will change the consistency of the contents but not the taste.
