This recipe is for a super quick and soul-southing miso soup recipe with the must-have addition of King Soba Buckwheat Noodles, adding a delightful texture and nutty flavour to this comforting dish.

The beauty of these King Soba noodles lies in their gluten-free, whole grain composition, offering a nutritious and hearty base that complements the umami-rich broth perfectly. These noodles are also great in salads and one of the reasons I love King Soba as all their products are organic and non-GMO, as well as tasting amazing!

To achieve the ideal texture and flavour of King Soba noodles, it’s crucial to follow these steps: start by boiling water, then lower the heat to medium before adding the noodles, gently stirring to separate them during the 4-6 minute cook time. Remember to always drain and give them a quick rinse with cold water to halt the cooking process, ensuring your noodles are perfectly tender and ready to soak up the delicious miso broth.
