FAQs

Is store-bought miso soup vegan-friendly?
Generally, yes. Miso paste is traditionally vegan. However, you have to watch out for added ingredients like fish-derived ingredients or chicken stock. I recommend making your own, though. 
Is it alright to drink miso soup every day?
 
Yes. As per research, miso soup has an alkalizing effect on the body. It helps strengthen the immune system to fight off infections.
