Quick and Easy Vegan Pho With Creamy Miso Broth

Perfect for hot weather, this savory broth has a cooling blend of miso, ginger, chili flakes, lime leaves, and soy sauce. The umami flavors are especially satisfying when temps rise. Add coconut milk if you prefer it creamy.

But it’s not just the broth that makes this bowl so wholesome. The chopped tofu, sweet potato noodles, and soba noodles give it extra body. Mix in wilted bok choy and pair it with spiced creamy miso broth and you have a perfect evening supper or mid-day soup.

The flavors perfectly combine for a healthy and light meal in summer. Its ingredients are bright and refreshing, making pho a light and healthy soup for lunch or dinner. What’s more, is the coconut cream in this broth. The coconut cream makes the broth extra lush and comforting. I love how it adds creaminess to the dish for a sensational flavor-rich bowl.
