    Miso Brown Rice Soup (Vegan + GF)

    This Miso Brown Rice Soup is warming, comforting and filling, whilst also being 100% healthy and super easy to make!

    Miso Brown Rice Soup (Vegan + GF)

    This dish was inspired by my favourite noodle soup recipe, with brown rice being the carb of choice here instead of rice noodles. You can use white rice of course, but I find that the slightly chewier texture and nutty flavour of brown rice is perfect for this soup!

    The highlight of this dish is the broth - just like with any good noodle soup, it's packed full of umami flavour, thanks to the miso, sesame oil and sesame seeds.

    Leeks, Chinese cabbage and shiitake mushrooms are added for flavour and their contrasting textures, whilst pea shoots make a lovely fresh garnish and make everything look beautiful.

    Tofu helps bulk out the soup, as well as adding protein, and it really soaks up all the lovely flavours of the broth.

    This soup is absolutely perfect if you're feeling a little under the weather - it's full of nutrients, fibre, protein and is so warming and comforting.

    I love the contrast of the chewy, nutty brown rice with the soft, silky tofu and hearty vegetables and fresh, crisp pea shoots combined with the intensely savoury miso and sesame-flavoured broth.

    What would also be a great addition to this Miso Brown Rice Soup is kimchi! You can buy vegan-friendly kimchi, and if you can't get hold of it, you could always try making your own.

    Kimchi not only adds a delicious pungent flavour that compliments the mellowness of the miso, but also adds lots of probiotics that will keep your tummy happy.
