Let’s enjoy a bowl of miso soup every day! Here is the collection of our easy and seasonal miso soup recipes, from the classic Tofu and Wakame to summertime favorite Tomato Miso Soup.
Japanese people drink a bowl of miso soup every day, sometimes even twice a day. We believe that consuming miso soup is a home remedy that keep us strong, hydrated, and nourished. Our enthusiasm for it never wanes because we make miso soup with ingredients that are often seasonal. It serves as a reminder of the changing seasons and a way to express gratitude for nature’s bounty.
Since the 30th day (三十日) is read as misoka (みそか) in Japanese, the Japan Federation of Miso Manufacturers established this day as Miso Day (味噌の日). Starting this year (2024), I’ll be sharing one miso soup recipe on the 30th of every month and adding it to this JOC Miso Soup Recipes list.
I encourage you to try them out as we welcome each season with the freshest produce. Miso soup is versatile—enjoy it for breakfast, as a light lunch, or as part of your Ichiju Sansai (one soup, three dishes) dinner. From the classic Tofu and Wakame Miso Soup to the summertime favorite Tomato and Tofu Miso Soup, we’re going to have fun discovering the myriad ways of making miso soup!
