Description
This Miso Ginger Broth is warm, soothing, and gently nourishing, made with simple ingredients like fresh ginger, lemon, and miso. Perfect for light meals, calm mornings, or cozy resets.
Ingredients
2–3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced or grated
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, bone broth, or water
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari (optional)
2 green onions, chopped, for garnish
Fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or baby spinach (optional)
Instructions
Bring the broth or water to a gentle simmer in a medium pot.
Add the ginger and garlic, if using, and simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Do not boil after adding miso.
In a small bowl, whisk the miso paste with a little warm broth until smooth.
Stir the miso mixture back into the pot.
Add the lemon juice and soy sauce or tamari, if using, and stir gently.
Pour into mugs or bowls and garnish with green onions and fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Avoid boiling the broth once miso is added to preserve flavor.
Adjust lemon and ginger to taste for a milder or brighter broth.
This broth is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently.
