[Japanese Recipes] Miso Wonton Soup

Miso Wonton Soup is an easy 30 minute meal made with frozen chicken dumplings and healthy Japanese miso paste ~ everybody loves this comforting soup!

How nice is it that simple, clean, and healthy food is so often the easiest to throw together. It’s almost embarrassing how easy. This Miso Wonton Soup doesn’t really even cook at all in the traditional sense, so if you can boil water, you can make it. I hate to insult your intelligence by posting the recipe, but if you’re like me, it sometimes helps to be reminded, visually if possible, of easy solutions for those times when you’re hungry, cold, in a hurry, and your mind decides to go blank on you.

Nutritious miso paste magically turns chicken broth, or water for that matter, into a rich savory soup.

It’s made from fermented soybeans or grains, and comes in several variations such as red, white, and yellow. They vary in flavor but can be used interchangeably. You’ll find it in a refrigerated section along with wonton wrappers and tofu.

Miso is such a versatile condiment, I’ve used it in everything from Miso Soup and Miso Rmen, to Miso Salad Dressing, and it adds an instant ‘umami’ touch to any sauce or gravy.

This Japanese inspired soup is great for weight loss!

A lot of people say the Japanese have the healthiest eating habits on earth. All you have to do is look at Japanese food to see the striking differences between it and most of what we eat in the West. From the thin broth, to the delicate, translucent wonton wrappers, to the paper thin slices of carrot, this soup is the model of restraint. If you’re looking to get a little healthier in the new year, or lose a pound or two, this is your soup.
