Hearty Miso Chicken Noodle Soup: A Nourishing Meal

Miso Chicken Noodle Soup:

 

Soup Season at Home

When the rain pours non-stop, it naturally turns into soup season at our home, and I couldn’t be happier. Recently, Mike and I have been on a serious soup kick, making huge batches to enjoy for both lunch and dinner.

Discovering a New Favorite

Along the way, we discovered a new favorite—this Miso Chicken Noodle Soup. I created it using the leftovers from a miso pork soup that seemed to last forever. Even though we had already indulged in plenty of miso, the flavor was so irresistible that I decided to use it as the base for a comforting chicken noodle soup.

Using Leftover Chicken

Fortunately, I found some leftover chicken in the fridge that practically begged to be added to a warm, hearty soup. So, I quickly whipped up a classic chicken noodle soup and stirred in some miso for an extra hit of umami.

The Perfect Comfort in a Bowl

The result? Pure comfort in a bowl, especially with the addition of egg noodles, which I absolutely adore. There’s something so satisfying about noodles in soup—although maybe it’s time I move on to just noodles!

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, combine miso paste, oyster sauce, fish sauce, ginger, soy sauce, orange zest, sesame oil, optional dashi or stock powder, and water. Whisk lightly to dissolve the miso.
  2. Add the chicken and vegetables to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cooked noodles and return the soup to a simmer.
  4. Season with pepper, mix in spring onions, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Best served freshly made but can be chilled and stored for up to 24 hours.
  • Variation: For a Miso Salmon and Noodle Bowl, replace the chicken with 200g of fresh, boneless, skinless salmon, thinly sliced. Add 200g of diced firm tofu if desired.

FAQs: Miso Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

  1. What type of miso paste should I use?
    • You can use any type of miso paste, but white miso (Shiro miso) is commonly preferred for its mild and slightly sweet flavor. Red miso will give a deeper, more robust taste.
  2. Can I substitute the chicken with another protein?
    • Yes, you can use salmon, shrimp, or tofu as substitutes. For a vegetarian option, tofu works well.
  3. What kind of noodles are best for this soup?
    • Egg noodles are a great choice, but you can also use ramen, udo, or soba noodles depending on your preference.
  4. How can I make this soup spicier?
    • Add a splash of chili oil, Sriracha, or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes to give the soup a spicy kick.
