This Carrot & Parsnip Miso Soup recipe is easy and quick to make, yet full of goodness. It will warm you from the inside out.
I find miso so rejuvenating I add it to everything. Here it goes perfectly with carrot and parsnip and makes a nice change from traditional miso broth.
Because miso is salty I do not add any other seasoning apart from the lime juice. But this is obviously a matter of personal taste.
I use Yutaka Organic Miso Paste which has a lovely and rich taste. Miso is made of fermented soybeans. It is a very nutritious ingredient to have in the kitchen. Because it is fermented, it is very beneficial for the health of our digestive system, especially the gut. It will keep for a very long time in the fridge.
I usually serve this miso soup with toasted sesame seeds, coriander and spring onion on top.

This is great! I made a couple modifications because I really like miso, and it was still excellent. I didnt have stock so I used water, and I didnt use coriander leaf or lime juice, and I used a lot of toasted sesame seeds, and twice as much miso. Also I added raw tofu after.
