Does your little one have a runny nose and cough? Warm miso soup with tofu soothes a sore throat and helps hydrate your sniffling kiddo, and the white rice and broccoli are easy on the tummy. It’s a fast dinner to get on the table, which is a lifesaver when your kids aren’t feeling well and you’re exhausted. You’ll notice that there aren’t any green onions in this recipe, making it extra kid-friendly and extra easy to prepare. Hannah must have brought home every germ from preschool this past cold and flu season, so we slurped down many bowls of Feel Better Miso Soup!
Kid approved? YES! I think miso soup might be one of Hannah’s favorite meals.
Baby approved? YES! Parker started eating this soup at 9 months old, he loves it!
