I used to have miso soup all the time, until I developed a seafood allergy (of serious dimensions, as in trips to the ER). Since being diagnosed (twice, yeah, two trips to the ER for separate dining out incidents), I was told strictly to avoid fish/shellfish. So, no more restaurant miso soup for me, as it generally made with fish stock.
This is how I get my miso soup fix. The broth is lovely (if not exactly the flavor of authentic restaurant Japanese miso soup), that mild, gentle flavor, the strips of seaweed also mild. This soup has tiny bits of soy protein (nice addition) and has some mushroom (which is why the broth is so nice, I think) and, of course, green onions.
However, one star off for the noodles. I found the serving of noodles generous in ratio to broth, but I didn’t find the texture or flavor satisfying. Usual store-bought ramen, I guess, has a lot more fat than this very low-fat soup, and fat affects texture/flavor. So, if you’re used to the cheap supermarket ramen–which, I’ll admit, I do like– this will not be the same.
But I’d buy it again for the broth, and leave out the noodles or break the serving down to a smaller portion.
For those of you used to vegan/low-fat ramen, this should not be a problem. I just am spoiled with fattier ramen soups.
Lots of plusses, though–organic noodles, simple ingredients, lowfat, easy to fix (I pour in boiling water and in a couple of minutes, done), microwaveable (for the brown-bagging contingent).
Another useful product from Dr. McD that won’t break your caloric bank at 180 cals per container and which offers only 1 gram of fat. Other nutritional facts per container: 680 grams of sodium, 2 grams of fiber, 36 grams of carbs, 8 grams of protein.
I hope Dr. McD makes a vegan miso without noodles in the future, simply adding more tofu, green onions, and dehydrated mushrooms to punch it up. I’d prolly give that one 5 stars.

These things are just gross all around. The broth is under-seasoned, the noodles are off both in texture and taste and there doesn’t seem to be a hint of miso anywhere in the flavor profile. Total waste of time.

I have never tried Miso before, and thought this soup would be a good way to start….It is very good, not salty, a nice taste..I’ll be buying it again in the future

I found the soup to be merely ok. The noodles had a bad texture and it was overly salty, to the point of making me queasy. I wouldn’t recommend it to others, but I wouldn’t warn them from buying it, either. The nutrition info listed is for one entire soup cup.

This is a more sophisticated version of ramen cup o soup with much less sodium. This is an ideal quick snack. Its also pretty filling for being less than 200 calories.
I agree with other reviewers who say that the noodles are missing something. I chalk it up to the noodles being boiled instead of fried like other noodles of this type. However the noodles are still edible/ enjoyable.
