Mushroom Onion Miso Soup

Lately, I have been feeling quite nostalgic and I think that it has a lot to do with seeing posts from family and friends in different parts of the country that I miss. In October of last year a spent nearly the entire month away from home, in New York and Michigan visiting family. I had some really great times there and I want to go back SO badly. It probably doesn’t help that I have been listening to Ryan Adams a lot, and that one of my cousins and I share an immense love for him.

I think I may just be getting stir-crazy, it has been quite a while since my last trip/adventure. Hopefully, soon I’ll be visiting my younger sister in Phoenix who has been living there for a couple of months. I’ve already picked out some of the vegan places I’d like to check out. ;) Plus, she just adopted this adorable Manchester Terrier! How cute is she, with her new little bow? Adorable, to say the least.

But, because I can’t travel at all right now, I’ll make the best of being at home and staying comforted. Really, what’s more comforting than soup? Not much in my book. And what better way to start off a filling meal than with a warm bowl of miso soup? Of course, this is a little elaborate in comparison to the traditional miso soup served with sushi, but that’s what makes this recipe special. If you want to have this as a full meal instead of just an accompaniment, add some firm tofu for its protein content.

Vegetable Miso Soup with Rice Noodles

I found a box of Maifun rice noodles in my pantry the other day and decided to make ramen! This one turned out a little less soupy than I would have liked, but made an enormous amount, around 8 servings. Because I made this on a whim there was no REAL recipe used and I didn’t use measurements so I’ll give you a vague outline of what I did, this way you can make it your own. :)

Ingredients

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbsp. Sesame Oil

1 Bunch of Leeks, sliced

3-4 Cloves of Garlic, Sliced

2 Cups of Broccoli, chopped

2 Carrots, sliced

1 1/2 Cups Sliced Mushrooms

1 Small Can of Water Chestnuts

2-3 Tsp. Sesame Seeds

1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

3 Tbsp. Tamari/Soy Sauce

Optional: 1 tsp. Hot Sesame Oil

6 Cups Water

4 Tbsp. White Miso Paste

1 Box Annie Chung’s Maifun Noodles (or any rice noodle)

Directions:

Saute garlic and leeks until leeks soften (approx. 3-5 minutes). Add in broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and water chestnuts and create a stir fry with them so that they are sauteed but not very wilted. Stir in sesame seeds, red pepper, soy sauce and hot sesame oil (if you have it).

After everything is combined and smelling delicious add in your water and miso paste and bring to a boil over medium. Once boiling (it’ll probably take 4-8 minutes), add in noodles and simmer until noodles are soft, which will take little to no time. Serve in a bowl and dot with sriracha if you like hot stuff!
