I made this soup when I was struggling through the day with a cold. No one, including me, likes to deal with cooking and food when they’re sick and tired. This recipe barely feels like cooking, but the product is delicious, comforting, and healthy. You can make simple miso soup in just a few minutes using one pot and ingredients you probably have lying around. I used spinach, bean sprouts, and cabbage because it was left over from my buddha bowl that I made earlier in the week. This took me just five minutes because the only part that needs to cook are the rice noodles. If you throw in your vegetables with the noodles as they cook, the hot water will cook the vegetables at the same time without any effort on your part.
