Chef Mike Van de Elzen joins Andrew Dickens on the Sunday Session to talk about his recipe for a tasty Miso Soup, one of his go-to meals.

Tasty Miso Soup

Serves: heaps 

Prep time: 4 mins 

Miso is available from most supermarkets, it may seem extreme buying it just for soup but trust me its incredibly healthy and affordable. You will find yourself using it in gravies, dressings, marinates and anything that needs salt. 

You can’t really go wrong. 

Base soup

6 cups of water (vegetable or chicken stock will give you more depth of flavor)

4 Tbsp Miso paste

2 Tbsp soya sauce

1 white onion, peeled and sliced thin

2 chicken breast, skin removed and sliced thin

4 cups of spinach or any Asian green, roughly chopped

½ hand of ramen noodles, (soba, rice or udon noodles work also) 

Place all the ingredients into a pot apart from the noodles and greens and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes before adding the greens and noodles continue to cook until the noodles are cooked and it’s done! 

Other ingredients to make it a great dinner 

½ cup beansprouts

2 Tbsp coriander, chopped

½ cup spring onions, chopped

¼ cup firm tofu, cubed

for a bit more kick you can add in some nori (seaweed) sheets
