Simple Lentil Miso Soup

August 14, 2014 by christine

Skipper is always such a sweetie and boy does he love meal time! He got such a workout last night frantically cleaning his bowl, then Miko’s bowl, that he had to lay down and rest in the kitchen.

I got a bit of a workout using my spiral slicer on a huge zucchini. I have not been using it enough this summer, shame one me! One zucchini produces a huge amount of “noodles”.

And they were perfect for this simple and fast lentil miso soup recipe.

Simple Lentil Miso Soup

  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 1 spiral sliced zucchini
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 3 cups of water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Bring water, miso paste, and lentils to a boil in a medium soup pot over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in zucchini, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy. Makes 2-4 servings.

I used up a bag of TruRoots Organic Sprouted Lentils in this recipe, but any variety of lentils will do.

And you can add more veggies if you like, have fun! I added mild chopped peppers that needed to be used up from our farm box.

For an incredibly fast and simple recipe, it was a lot of fun to eat and had a wonderful savory and rich flavor from the miso paste with a little kick.

The lentils added a firm and slightly crunchy texture to the zucchini noodles. And it’s very filling for a lighter, veggie loaded soup.

    That’s the most perfect green in the zuke! I need to do some noodles with a Summer Squash I got recently! The lentil dish looks TOP NOTCH too!

      They’re so fun to spiral slice, not sure why I’ve been forgetting to this summer.
