This soup seamlessly blends the natural sweetness of carrots with zesty ginger and the added umami of rich, creamy miso. The bulk of this soup is provided by the humble carrot and yellow split peas, both of which you may already have in your fridge or pantry, making this soup convenient, budget friendly, and simple to prepare.
Mighty miso
The darker the miso paste, the longer the fermentation process was, meaning the flavour is deeper and more robust.
