This Sweet Potato Miso Soup is the ultimate comfort food—creamy, savory, and loaded with nutrients. With roasted mushrooms and a touch of brown butter for richness, it’s a flavorful way to warm up on chilly days.

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon brown butter (optional for extra richness)
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Roast the Mushrooms:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Once the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the miso paste and brown butter. Mix until the miso is fully dissolved into the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble and Serve:

    • Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with roasted mushrooms and garnish with green onions, if desired.
