This flavourful soup makes for a perfect light and fresh dinner. Instead of using dried mushrooms (which can be pricey!), the roasted mushrooms add a great flavour that works really well with the miso soup base. The great thing about this recipe is you can customize it however you like – instead of udon noodles, you can use ramen noodles, rice noodles, or even vermicelli. Topping options are also endless. You can add any vegetable you like, such as bok choy, corn, green beans, or bean sprouts. For some extra protein, add some baked tofu or the meat of your choice.
