We're Gonna Change Your Soup Life With This Miso Ramen

Soup season is upon us, but let’s set aside all of those traditional vegetable soups and let this ramen bowl have a moment. Creamy Miso Ramen bowls will be your new best friend this fall! 

Miso is a fermented soybean paste that adds tremendous flavor as well as good-for-your gut benefits to this soup! We round out the savory bowl of noodles with a dollop of JOI to create the creamiest broth for these noodles to soak up.

While this is mostly a noodle soup, go crazy with the toppings at home. Baby bok choy, spinach, broccoli, shredded carrot, shelled edamame, Thai basil, hard boiled egg, black sesame seeds and green onion are just some of the  amazing healthy toppings that can transform this simple noodle dish into a show stopping meal. 

We’ve also included our own version of ramen seasoning that won’t leave you feeling icky. This low sodium version is going to be your go-to! Get that take-out flavor at home this season with Creamy Miso Ramen.
