Daikon Miso Noodle Soup

Sometimes I forget to eat. I get caught up in my work and lose track of time. Then suddenly, it's late, I'm tired, and the hunger pangs kick into full gear. The worst part: I'm too lazy to do much about it.

That's why it's worth keeping miso in the pantry. I use whatever veggie I have on hand, I toss in a few noodles, and in ten minutes, I'm having a bowl of satisfying soup.

Ingredients

daikon radish

fresh miso

soba noodles (or any pasta of your choice)

water

Step 1.

Slice up a daikon radish.

Halve the big slices to make them bite-sized.

Step 2.

Rinse the greens. Save some for future soups, sautés, or salads.

Step 3.

Bring as many cups of water as soup you wish to eat to a boil.

Add in the radishes.

Add in a serving of soba noodles. (I broke mine up in thirds for easier spooning.)

Allow to simmer for 6 to 7 minutes or so (depending on your noodle choice), or about 1 - 2 minutes before noodles are cooked to your liking.

Step 4.

Add about 1 tablespoon of miso per cup of water.

Add chopped up radish greens.

Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5.

Serve it up!

Serious satisfaction for the lazy hungry soul.
