Miso Pork Noodle Soup
with bok choy

Active: 20 min Total: 25 min
This is my type of comfort food. I could slurp noodles forever. Miso provides an easy base for this noodle soup. If you know that miso is just not your thing, then just add a few splashes of soy sauce to chicken stock for a similar umami flavor. Crunchy bok choy gives this meal a pop of color and also cooks quickly, perfect for weeknight veggies. Our paleo version features zucchini noodles, so make sure you have a spiralizer!

Make

  1. Bring water to a boil (make sure you use a pot big enough to fit the bok choy). Stir in miso and first part of soy sauce.
  2. Add in bok choy and bring back to a boil. Turn heat off (the bok choy will continue to cook). Add in noodles and pork to warm up. Serve in bowls and top with green onions.
