This soup is my latest favorite soup. It’s creamy, without the dairy, super healthy, filled with minerals and vitamins, and carries a perfect umami taste from the miso and it is gorgeous to look at from the stunning orange of the Kabocha squash.

The winter months bring an abundance of mushrooms. The health benefits of mushrooms are no longer a secret. The supplement aisle in your natural food market is robust with medicinal mushrooms for the immune system, the brain and beyond.

Soup season has just begun. As we head into the fall and winter months, hearty and nourishing and healthy soups become the mainstay in my home. A hearty miso soup can be an entire meal if done correctly, filled to the brim with copious amounts of noodles and veggies.
