Miso is an everyday soup in Japan. Miso constitutes a probiotic that can help with digestion, and it also strengthens the immune system. It’s fair to say it’s good for the overall well-being of our bodies.

The most important thing to remember is that miso contains a lot of probiotics, and probiotics are sensitive to high temperatures. So it is important to make sure that you do not heat the miso to over 120°F, and over 160°F may destroy its nutritional value completely.

Normally, you would not put the miso directly into the soup, instead, you would premix the miso separately into a sauce and then add the sauce to a hot vegetable or seaweed soup. After settling the soup for around 10 minutes, it would be ready for serving.
