    I got hooked on miso soup during a miserable business trip to Hawaii. I think it was the best part of that trip!

    Nothing better than the warm savory broth of Miso soup!
  • moonlitta Mar 25, 2012 @ 2:26 am | delete
    I don't like fish generally... so I wonder also about this soup? Still I learned new things from your lens- probably miso soup is not bad at all though a bit different from my routine?

    Yummy! I love the savory taste and lightness of miso soup. Thanks for sharing!

    Miso soup is delicious. Miso was often featured with ramen noodles at a Japanese restaurant I liked in Gardena, California. Thanks for reminding me of this delicate flavor.
  • SudokuNut Dec 1, 2011 @ 12:22 am | delete
    I always have miso soup when we go out for sushi but haven't tried making my own yet. Breakfast miso sounds interesting.

    I am partially Japanese and my grand mother, who is 100% makes an amazing bowl of miso soup. Probably one of my favorite dishes.

    When I'm hungry from boredom, I try and police myself from strapping on the feedbag in an M&M bag with a big mug of miso. I usually just have some Kikkoman instant on hand. I never realized there would be so many options. I'll have to check a few out.

    Great lens, I always assumed Miso soup was difficult to make. But your recipes show that does not have to be the case. Thanks

    Now, you need to show us how to make pork buns ;-)

    I will now try miso. I'd always thought of it as too salty - don't know why, I've not tasted it. thanks

    My wife is from Ishigaki Island, Japan. So for almost 30 years I've had the pleasure of enjoying the taste and benefits of miso soup. Greatly informative and beautiful lens!

    I've been in Japan 11 years now, and although Miso soup is part of my daily diet, I was still able to learn new things about it by reading your lens. Thanks to you and all the effort you put into making this. ありがとうございます！ｍ（。。）ｍ

  • TravelingRae Jun 14, 2011 @ 10:38 pm | delete
    Great lens about a great soup! I love it for breakfast. When I worked at a place with a food court I'd often grab a mug in the morning and I never once had to pay because it pleased the Japanese owner so much! I've never had a bad miso soup in a restaurant or in an instant sachet, but I haven't mastered making my own. You solved the mystery: I boiled it!
  • speaktolearn Jun 5, 2011 @ 9:57 am | delete
    I really love Miso soup! I have it all the time.

    something that is pretty good to add is fish spines to give a different tast, or just buy the usual hondashi hahah :)

    Great lens! I find that you need to have it with the little Japanese soup bowls with the lids and deep spoons, it's just not the same out of a typical American cereal bowl =)

    Miso is the perfect compliment to sushi. Thanks for the great tips you've provided on your lens!

    I love Miso soup especially with some musubi! It is a great for a hangover too. Excellent job putting this lens together. I copied your camping recipe. It looks like a good one to make the next time we go camping. 5 stars and I lensrolled you to my Hawaiian Portuguese Bean Soup lens.

    Long time ago, I remember having had fish soup with miso and it was lovely and flavourful. Having read your lens, I feel inspired to do my own experimenting. My own version would be miso soup with fish fillet broken into chunks. We'll see how it goes.
  • kohuether Mar 16, 2010 @ 11:23 am | delete
    I love Miso anyway but your lens REALLY made it look tasty. I want some! Maybe I'll have some for dinner tonight.

  • relache Oct 23, 2009 @ 6:39 pm | in reply to Ashman | delete
    Re-heated miso doesn't seem to have as full a flavor as when you make it fresh. Part of why I came up with that recipe is so that I could make it every morning and not have to save it. Anything you put in the soup gets mushy too over time.
  • Ashman Oct 20, 2009 @ 8:10 pm | delete
    I just made "Rachel's Simple Breakfast Miso " and it was delicious!

    How would the made-up soup keep in the fridge?

    I'd love to be able to cook up a batch for the week, and store it in the fridge, and then reheat a small amount of it each morning.

    Is that possible?
  • patelm Jul 31, 2009 @ 5:59 pm | delete
    I'd heard about Miso but didn't know about all the different kinds of miso soups. Will surely try out some of these recipes. Thanks for all the information.

    very interesting and helpfull thanx. 5
  • Umeshu Jul 25, 2009 @ 11:42 pm | delete
    Thanks for the well written introduction to Miso soup. My first experience with Miso soup was based on instant-miso-soup. I liked it but once you experienced the intense flavor of a real hand-made soup it is hard to go return to instant soup.

    My favorite occasion for Miso soup is in the morning in a ryokan. Having a red and heavy Miso soup in the morning gives pleasure and energy for the whole day. In the evening I prefer a white one after a few nice sushi.
  • Swisstoons Jun 3, 2009 @ 11:18 pm | delete
    You've sold me. Going to pick some up at the healthfood store. I'm sure I've seen it there. Rolling this to my own food-related lens.
  • relache May 26, 2009 @ 1:26 pm | in reply to CherylK | delete
    Gently in peanut oil is the short version. It takes a few times to figure out how large or small you prefer your cubes and you have to take care not to fry them too long or they get really tough. They do keep for a bit but taste oh, so much better when cooked fresh and eaten right away.
  • CherylK May 25, 2009 @ 3:22 pm | delete
    What an interesting lens this is! I did not know any of this about miso and you've explained it perfectly. Plus, you've made me want to try some of these recipes. I'd be interested to know how you fry your tofu cubes.
  • filipinotshirts May 5, 2009 @ 7:34 pm | delete
    great lens! i usually make miso soup using the packets. after reading your lens, i'm gonna try the different varieties. they all look so oishii! doomo for sharing!

    I'm Japanese (born in Ark) lol and never really liked miso soup but the other day I ate at a sushi bar and it was served to me so I felt I had to eat it and it was wonderful. Make me wonder why I never like it before. Great lens thanks for the info.
  • athomemomblog Mar 21, 2009 @ 9:13 am | delete
    I was introduced to miso soup by a vegan roommate, years ago. He used to make it with brown miso, tofu, mushrooms, noodles, assorted veggies and spices. It was a very hearty soup and SO delicious. I haven`t had it since then, though, because I live in Guatemala now.
  • TopStyleTravel Mar 11, 2009 @ 1:29 pm | delete
    Great lens on miso soup. My favorite is dark brown miso, with tonkatsu ramen and black pork Congrats on the Top 100!
  • California_Dreamin Feb 12, 2009 @ 12:55 am | delete
    Great lens. Miso soup is my favorite Japanese food, and I eat a lot of Japanese food because I live in Japan. I usually have the traditional styles like miso with tofu and leeks, miso with clams, or tonjiru. But this lens makes me realize that the only limit to what can be done with miso soup is one own's imagination.
  • AdrienneJenkins Feb 8, 2009 @ 7:01 am | delete
    Arigato. Love that you started your lens with welcome in Japanese.

    I love miso soup! I lived in Okinawa for three years and tried many new foods. I've only bought miso soup in packages at the grocery store. I can't wait to try some of the soups on your lens.
  • seegreen Jan 24, 2009 @ 9:45 am | delete
    I frequently have miso soup in the morning, my kids and I both love it. We make it from a packet, but it would probably be better made myself.

    There's also a song called "Miso Soup" by the jpop duo TegoMass. You should check out. It's very catchy and they made both a Japanese and an English version of the single.

    Sounds great! I haven't tried Miso soup, but I've seen it on menus before. I'll to give it a whirl next time and see what I think of it. Great work on this lens.

  • CleanerLife Oct 6, 2008 @ 6:32 pm | delete
    I've heard so much about miso soup, but I've never tried it. Maybe I should get some of the instant to get an idea of what it's like.
  • papawu Oct 6, 2008 @ 6:11 pm | delete
    Very good. I grew up having miso paste in the fridge at all times, so I am very familiar with it.
