Miso Soup with Asparagus, Onion, and Ham
Today’s miso soup is made with asparagus, onion, and ham. This is a quick and easy miso soup to make when asparagus is in season. Anytime from March through June, bundles of fresh asparagus are featured in the produce section of grocery stores. Asparagus is incredibly versatile and you can use it in any types of Japanese cooking from ohitashit to stir-frying (more asparagus recipes here!) Here we made a simple miso soup with onion and ham. It’s so easy to make with ingredients you already have at home.
