So this is what I expected/wanted my miso to look like.
I really love miso soup from Japanese/Sushi restaurants. Something about the brothy, unique flavor with the little bits of "fun" (aka, tofu, seaweed, green onions, carrots maybe) and how the cloudy part puffs up and drinking straight out of the bowl? Double fun. It's always a really nice way to start a meal that is pretty filling with very few calories. It doesn't seem that hard but what do I know, really?
I had to head to Whole Foods today for a couple items and very randomly & impulsively saw a jar of miso paste. It was $5, makes enough for... oh... 50 bowls of soup, had a recipe on the lid, and is good until October 2013. A relatively low risk impulse buy, I'd say.
Here we go.
That scary looking bag to the side is just prechopped onions and carrots.
Hm, you look a little thick. And not brothy. And I don't have seaweed.
Maybe a *tiny* bit better in bowls with green onion garnish, but not really.
It tasted fine, just nothing like the miso soup I know and love. Oh well, no check - but now I know to look up a recipe before starting. Lids/box tops might not be the most reliable sources.
Do you like miso soup? If you've never had it, you MUST try it. Well, don't go out of your way necessarily, but it IS good stuff.
