    Güzel bir tarif, ama sanki bircosa eksik gibi! Soup çok lezzetli, tüm sebzelerden dolayı renkli ve sağlıklı. Miso paste ilegether çok iyi birchoice, umami tadıkatlenmiş. Ben sadece sulfite-free olan ürünleri kullanabiliyor olduğum için biraz fazla research yapmam necessário oldu. Ayrıca Türk mutfağındaki Mercimek čişlenmesinden dolayı mercimek eklemeyi düşünüyorum, daha da güzel olacak peut-être. Hepinize afiyet olsun!

    I try this vegetable miso soup, and it is very nice. The flavors are deep and rich, like a good conversation with a friend. I like that it is pescatarian, I can eat it without worrying. But, I wish there was a way to make it more... Swedish. Maybe add some fish or seafood? I like the umami taste from miso paste, it is strong like the feelings I have when I am talking with someone about important things. The ingredients are easy to find and the steps are simple, even for someone like me who is not always confident in the kitchen. I will make it again, but I will try to add some Swedish twist. It is a good soup for when I am feeling introspective and need to think, the quiet and peacefulness of the cooking process help me to reflect.

    I must commence by stating that the Vegetable Miso Soup recipe is, in fact, a delightful and comforting concoction. As an individual who appreciates trying novel recipes, I was thrilled to discover this dish. The incorporation of an assortment of colourful vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, and potatoes, lends the soup a vibrant aesthetic. Furthermore, the utilisation of miso paste imparts a profound umami flavour, which I found thoroughly enchanting. Nevertheless, I must deduct a star owing to the presence of sesame oil, which, although not a severe allergen, warrants caution on my part due to my mild nut allergy. Consequently, I shall substitute it with an alternative oil in future preparations. In conclusion, I would unequivocally recommend this recipe to fellow vegetarians and aficionados of umami-rich cuisine.

    Upon reviewing the Vegetable Miso Soup recipe, I noticed it adheres to pescatarian dietary preferences, with the exception of lacking a seafood component. The incorporation of **umami** flavor via miso paste and soy sauce is a notable aspect, which aligns with the principles of balancing taste in traditional Mediterranean cuisine. However, the recipe's reliance on **sesame oil** may pose a concern due to my mild nut allergy, as sesame is a common allergen. To mitigate this issue, I would substitute sesame oil with a suitable alternative, such as **olive oil**. The recipe's instructions are straightforward, but I would recommend adding **sea salt** and **lemon juice** to enhance the flavor profile. Additionally, the suggested cooking time seems plausible, with a total duration of 30-40 minutes, which is well within the realm of **culinary feasibility**. Overall, this recipe serves as a solid foundation for a plant-based miso soup, but requires **personalization** to cater to my specific tastes and dietary requirements.

    Upon examination of this recipe, I observed that it adheres to a vegetarian paradigm, replete with an assortment of verdant vegetables and umami-boosting miso paste. However, as a non-vegetarian individual with a penchant for traditional Polish cuisine, I found this recipe to be somewhat disparate from my typical culinary preferences. The incorporation of sesame oil and soy sauce bestowed a distinctive flavor profile, yet the absence of meat and gluten-rich ingredients was noticeable. As an analytical individual, I must applaud the soup's nutritional density, as the potatoes and vegetables provide a satisfactory amount of complex carbohydrates and fiber. Nevertheless, the recipe's deviation from my customary dietary routine and lack of gluten-containing components precluded a more enthusiastic response. Thus, I award this recipe 3 stars, as it excels in certain technical aspects, but falls short in satisfying my personal culinary inclinations.

    I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by this Vegetable Miso Soup recipe. As someone attempting to reduce their meat intake, it's essential to find plant-based options that are both satisfying and flavorful. This soup delivers on both fronts. The combination of vegetables, miso paste, and soy sauce creates a rich, umami taste that's hard to resist. The instructions are straightforward, and the preparation time is reasonable. My only suggestion would be to add some heat, perhaps in the form of red pepper flakes, to give it an extra kick. Overall, a great option for a quick and easy dinner that's good for both my taste buds and my conscience.

  • Sofi_Olive

    Eu amei essa receita de sopa de missô de vegetais! Ela é muito fácil de fazer e tem um sabor incrível! A combinação do missô com os legumes é perfeita, e o uso do óleo de gergelim dá um toque especial. Eu adorei! Só não dou 5 estrelas porque, para um pescetariano como eu, seria bom ter alguma opção de adicionar marisco ou peixe para dar um pouco mais de proteína. Mas, de qualquer forma, é uma receita deliciosa e super saudável. Vou fazer novamente, com certeza!

    I made this Vegetable Miso Soup and it was very good. The miso paste taste is similar to what I am used to from sushi and ramen, which I enjoy. However, I added cooked chicken to the soup because I prefer to eat meat. The instructions were easy to follow and the soup was ready in about 30 minutes. One thing I liked is that it does not have any dairy products, so it is good for my lactose intolerance. I think the recipe is well written and the result is delicious.

    ### A Delicious Soup, But Not Exactly My Abuelita's Cooking \nWhile I appreciate the simplicity and ease of this Vegetable Miso Soup recipe, I must admit that it didn't exactly captivate my heart (or taste buds). As a pescatarian who adores the bold flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine, I found this soup to be a tad too...neutral for my liking. Don't get me wrong, the combination of onion, garlic, carrots, zucchini, and potatoes was a satisfying one, and the miso paste added a lovely depth of umami. However, I longed for the zest of a squeeze of lime juice, the pungency of chopped cilantro, or the subtle kick of diced jalapeños that I often find in the soups my **abuelita** used to make for me. Still, I must commend the recipe for its clarity and elegance. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine or looking for a light, comforting meal, you may very well enjoy this soup. But if you're searching for a flavor bomb that will transport you to the sun-kissed streets of Mexico, keep looking. **Postre**, anyone?

    As I embark on this gastronomical journey, I must confess that my heart yearns for the familiar flavours of traditional Pakistani cuisine. While this Vegetable Miso Soup recipe does tantalize my senses with its burst of colours and umami essence, I find myself yearning for the warm, comforting spices that permeate our beloved dishes. The absence of gluten is a thoughtful consideration, and for that, I am grateful. Nonetheless, I must admit that my taste buds, accustomed to the vibrant flavours of kebabs and other Pakistani delicacies, find this miso soup to be a gentle, yet fleeting, whispered promise of comfort. In the spirit of community and sharing, I would be delighted to adapt this recipe to incorporate the bold flavours and spices that bring our people together.

  • TorErik85

    I must say that I approached this Vegetable Miso Soup with a certain degree of skepticism, given my affinity for traditional Swedish cuisine. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of flavor that the miso paste brought to the dish. The assortment of colorful vegetables added a delightful pop of color to the soup, and I appreciated the relatively short preparation and cooking time. As someone who values locally sourced and sustainable food, I would have liked to see more information on the origin of the ingredients. That being said, I found the soup to be a comforting and satisfying meal, reminiscent of a warm cup of coffee on a chilly morning. The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow, much like a well-structured literary analysis. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to those looking to explore the world of plant-based cuisine, with the caveat that one should strive to use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

    Oh meu Deus, I was soooo excited to try this recipe, but then I saw soy sauce and miso paste, and my heart sank! I'm super allergic to soy, and that's like, a big part of this lovely soup, não é? I know, I know, miso paste is like, the main event here, but I just can't do soy, and it makes me a little sad. The rest of the recipe, oh que delícia! The sesame oil, the veggies, the broth... all so yummy! But, I gotta be careful with my allergies, Você entende? So, I think I'll have to give this recipe a little makeover, swap out the soy sauce and miso for something new, maybe some yummy Brazilian spices? And then, we'll have a Party in my kitchen, because I just love trying new things and experimenting with flavors, é verdade! But for now, 2 stars, porque meu allergy, você sabe?
