This quick soup is perfect for chilly days or when the air conditioning leaves you feeling cold. Ready in just 5 minutes, it’s a family favorite that’s as easy as it is comforting.
Richly flavored with miso and reminiscent of miso ramen broth, this soup pairs beautifully with rice. Packed with pork belly and bean sprouts, it’s a satisfying dish you’ll want to make again and again.
