I’ve written before about how easy it is to mistake hunger for thirst. I am sure that we have all been there, starving hungry and grabbed a snack and not really felt any better? Guidelines vary and are effected by so many things that there are no hard and fast rules about how much water you should drink – “8 before 8” is both easy to remember – Eight 8-ounce glasses a day which is just below 2 litres.
I keep a glass on my desk, topped up from a BRITA tap, or from a BRITA filter jug. Remember that liquid in your food counts too, soups, fruit and veg are largely composed of water and help you along your way.
My skinny and rehydrating miso soup will help you along the way to your 8 before 8, and makes an excellent snack or light meal. Adapt to your taste – swap in different noodles, add more, or leave out the prawns and play with the chilli and herbs.
I used filtered water to make the miso soup – it has a delicate flavour which certainly benefits from the filtered water.

We eat a lot of miso noodle soup, as it’s just so quick and easy and an easy dish to add lots of vegetables to as well.

That soup looks wonderful! Great tips on the water too! We use a ZeroWater filer picture for drinking and some cooking here. You are right about the water making a difference in light, fresh soups and broths.

It makes a massive difference. We really notice with black coffee and tea.

There is nothing quite like making your own soup, it always tastes so much better. I am a huge fan of Miso soup because every mouthful tastes different.

You make a good point about the need to stay hydrated. And this warming soup looks a great way to top up with liquids.Reply

My concentration is so much better if I am hydrated. it makes a big difference.

I’ll just leave out the prawns for a vegetarian option. I assume it’ll taste good without?Reply
Helen
Absolutely! You can always add some extra tofu.

I go through phases where I am doing so good with drinking plenty of water and then fall away from it. I always feel better when I’m hydrated and I love thinking of a soup as being hydrating. So smart!

We always order Miso Soup when we visit our local Japanese restaurant but have never made it at home – it actually looks really simple and authentic!
Reply
Helen
The trick is having a good paste to make it from. not all brands are equal.

This sounds really good. I don’t eat fish but my hubby would love this :)

You can just leave the prawns out and add some more tofu Jessica

I love Miso Soup. I fell in love when I used to go to YO SUSHI and you’d get unlimited Miso. I now buy the packets and make them up like yours. Makes a good ramen too..Reply
Helen
You do need to find a good base miso, but then it is so easy to make at home and to dress up.
Reply
Rachel @ Simple Seasonal
I love you’re title for this recipe! When I’m not food blogging I’m a visiting nurse, and I’m always telling patient’s when they’re sick to drink broths. I’ve seen so many people drink lots of fluids when they’re sick, but not with an adequate amount of sodium, which can land a sick person in the hospital. The miso it this recipe is a great, healthy sodium source. Very healing and hydrating!Reply
Helen
I did not know that about miso and sodium Rachel. I love this recipe as it is so adaptable and the only cooking needed is to boil the kettle.
Reply
Donna
This sounds so simple and delicious! We are huge fans of miso soup around here, but never think to really ‘dress it up’. This sounds like a great way to do so :)
