Making the Mushroom Noodle Soup
(scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Mushrooms
- Vegetable oil
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Vegetable broth
- Scallions
- White miso paste
- Soba noodles
Choosing Your Mushrooms
This soup works incredibly well with a variety of mushrooms! We love using a mix of cremini, buttons, baby bellas, and oysters.
For whatever mushroom you use, we recommend purchasing them whole and thinly slicing them yourself so you can control the size and make sure they are uniform.
Tips for Perfect Miso Soup
- Sauté mushrooms – cook the mushrooms until they just begin to sweat and are slightly tender.
- Add aromatics – fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions are key here for building a flavorful soup base.
- Simmer soup – allow the soup to simmer several minutes to develop flavor.
- Cook soba noodles to al dente – remember, the soba noodles will be added to a warm soup, so cook them only to al dente – they will continue cooking in the soup.
- Top soup with green onions and nori – optional, but it adds a lovely little pop of flavor!
Recipe Variations
Looking to try something a little different? Try these variations on this soup.
- Add more vegetables – try adding sweet pepper, zucchini, carrot, or kale alongside the mushrooms for sautéing.
- Make it spicy – saute a jalapeno or serrano pepper or add a few dashes of sriracha to the broth.
- Use chicken broth – for a non-vegetarian version, feel free to use chicken broth in place of the veggie.
- Add meat – sauteed chicken or beef strips would be a great meaty addition.
- Use regular noodles – if you can’t find soba noodles, regular wheat pasta will work just fine!
Storing and Reheating Soup
This soup stores well in the refrigerator up to 6 days. Reheat leftovers either on the stovetop or several minutes in the microwave.
We do not recommend freezing this soup.
The savory, earthy flavors in this soup are absolutely to die for! It’s also got the perfect level of broth to noodles + mushrooms. Just all around perfection.

Can I use black misso paste?
Sarah says
You can, however I would recommend starting with less and adding more to taste as black miso can be a lot stronger in flavor.
