![Miso soup](http://elizabethyarnell.com/WP/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/miso_soup.JPG "Miso soup")

Miso soup is one of the easiest comfort foods I whip up. In my single life, I would use a [dried packet](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J39TSW?ie=UTF8&tag=lizoneandmore-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000J39TSW)![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lizoneandmore-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000J39TSW) of miso soup — just add hot water, how much easier could eating get?

Now I like to keep a tub of miso paste (find it at the health food store in the refrigerated section near the tofu), bring some water to a boil and stir in a few tablespoons full of miso paste along with a handful of dried [ Wakame](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GHPGOC?ie=UTF8&tag=lizoneandmore-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000GHPGOC)![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=lizoneandmore-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000GHPGOC) (seaweed) shreds, some squeezed cubes of tofu, sliced scallions, a few sliced mushrooms and carrots and anything else I might have around. Still, super quick and easy to get on the table for dinner.![Wakame](http://elizabethyarnell.com/WP/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/wakame.jpg "Wakame")

Seaweed is packed with everything from iron to calcium. It’s rich in minerals because it grows, you guessed it, in the mineral-rich waters of the ocean.

I made this batch of soup on the mild side so that my kids wouldn’t get turned off by a too strong miso flavor, which can sometimes be overwhelming. Control the flavor by how much miso paste you add.
