Today’s miso soup is with Somen Noodles. Somen are dried thin vermicelli noodles made mainly from wheat flour. They are most often eaten cold in summer, but are nice in hot soup too. Because Somen are so thin, the cooking time is very fast. And that means they will get soft if left sitting in soup too long. Add the cooked noodles to the soup just before serving. If you like this soup as a simple meal by itself, increase the amount of Somen. It’ll become a very easy lunch. We hope you like it!
