A rejuvenating mix of courgette, edamame, miso, warming ginger and nori come together in this healthy and tasty Courgette & Edamame Miso Soup. It has a gorgeous green colour and makes perfect leftovers for lunchboxes the next day.
Miso and nori add a delicious Asian twist. Make sure you use low-salt vegetable stock as miso is quite salty. Add the miso paste little by little as you do not want to overpower the taste of the courgettes and edamame.
Hearty, this is just the perfect comforting recipe for late Summer or early autumn cooling temperatures.

I was attracted to this recipe because of the picture, but when I did it, I really didn’t like the flavor. ☹️
