Miso soup has been a staple of the Japanese diet for centuries. It is a simple soup made with a few basic ingredients, but it is full of flavor and umami. Miso paste is made from fermented soybeans, and it gives the soup its characteristic salty and savory flavor. Coconut milk is a good substitute for dairy milk in this soup, as it adds a rich and creamy texture. Vegetable broth adds flavor and depth to the soup, and cornstarch thickens the soup to give it a satisfying body. Garlic, onion, and cilantro add flavor and aromatics to the soup. This soup is a quick and easy way to get a healthy and delicious meal on the table.
