There is something so comforting about a warm bowl of miso soup, even in the early summer time. On cooler mornings or evenings, this is the perfect way to utilize the building blocks you’ve made to create something simple and nourishing in under 5 minutes. Top with a few slices of pickled chard stems for added tang and texture.
