The northern girl in me loves big sweaters, high boots and soup. All bring comfort and put a smile on my face. So, whether it’s January or July, finding a great soup recipe is not only exciting, it’s practical. As a meal, it’s easy to prepare. It’s also hearty enough to curb cravings, while packing in many nutrients.
I prefer bean-based soups because when defrosting, it maintains its fresh taste. So when I stumbled upon chickpea miso, I started to play around with some additional ingredients. I found this one super easy and filling.
