Note

Do not boil the soup after adding the miso paste. High heat can destroy the beneficial enzymes and delicate flavors in miso, as well as cause it to separate. Always add miso off the heat or at the very end of cooking.

Dulse is a type of edible seaweed that adds a savory, salty, and slightly sweet flavor. If you cannot find dulse, you can substitute with a small amount of nori sheets or simply omit it, though the soup will lack that distinct oceanic note.

For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeo or add a dash of chili oil. For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeo before slicing.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, avoiding a full boil to preserve the texture of the miso and vegetables.
