Couldn’t end 2024 without one final soup recipe for my fellow soup girly gang 🍲 whether you’re traveling for the holidays or just looking for an easy way to sneak in a balancing soup in between all the rich holiday fare, this is the hack to whip together a quick miso soup!
Also linked a couple of the special ingredients like freeze dried tofu and toppings — they’re a bit harder to find, but if you can visit a Japanese grocery store, you’ll find everything there 👍🏼
Ingredients:
Base miso soup ingredients for each ball:
1 tbsp white miso
1 tbsp awase miso
1 tsp dashi powder
1 tsp scallions
5-6 small pieces of freeze dried tofu
Toppings:
Dried daikon (look for dried kiriboshi)
Dried seaweed (look for wakame seaweed)
Dried shrimp (aka dried papery shrimp)




Instructions:
Combine the miso base ingredients together in a bowl, then roll into a ball
Place the dried toppings on a separate plate, then roll the ball into the toppings so they stick
If you’re not traveling, just keep in a tupper ware but if you’re traveling, wrap each ball in seran wrap, then a rigid container so they don’t get squished
To make, just add hot almost boiling water, let it sit for 5 mins, then mix well
