Recipe for Miso Soba Noodle Soup

If you ever have miso paste sitting in your fridge for a long time, this miso soba noodle soup recipe is perfect to make with it.

What many people don’t know is that you don’t actually want to boil the miso into the soup (like other recipes do) as it can destory the fermentation properties and benefits of miso! But don’t worry, I have instructions on when to incorpoate miso paste into your soba noodle soup!

This miso soba noodle soup has a salty and savoury taste and can have a slight spice if you add gochugaru or hot sauce (optional). The soba noodles also had a subtle flavour and are nice and chewy! You can swap out the tofu with any other plant-based protein source – i like to use frozen edamame beans or chickpeas often if I don’t have tofu.

How To Make Miso Soba Noodle Soup (Vegan)

If you want to cook your soba noodles separately (for thinner soup broth), start by cooking the noodles according to the instructions. The soup’s broth will get quite thick if you cook the soba noodles with the broth together with everything (like I did) so if you want a thinner (more soupy) broth, I suggest you cook the noodles separately from the soup. If you want to make it the way I do in one-pot, start with the next step.

Add water or vegetable broth in a pot. If using water, I recommend adding kelp powder to the water for an amazing flavour. Whisk together to create a kelp broth. 

If you want a little spice in your soup, feel free to add gochugaru (optional).

Next, add soy sauce and bring to a boil. 

Now for the main star: miso! We don’t want to add the miso paste to the boiling water as it will destroy the fermentation properties and benefits of miso, so for now, put miso paste in a small bowl along with a few spoonfuls of the broth you made. Mix until miso paste is thinned out. Set aside for now. 

Next, add your vegetables of choice into the pot (i used onion, zucchini noodles, and baby bok choy) with your soft tofu (or edamame beans or chickpeas) and soba noodles (if not cooked separately). Boil until soba noodles have cooked (around 5 minutes), stirring often to prevent the noodles from sticking. 

Once noodles have cooked, turn the heat off and add in baby spinach (optional) and the thinned miso paste you set aside earlier. Mix well and stir in until spinach wilts and voila! Miso soba noodle soup! 

Feel free to add a little more water or vegetable broth if your soup is on the thicker side (unless you like that like me lol).

Transfer into a large serving bowl and top with green onions. Feel free to add in some chili oil, hot sauce, or serve with a side of kimchi.
