 Cup of soup for grown ups! November 19, 2009
Charlotte Taylor (NYC)
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.
 Pleasant mild broth, nice ingredients, but the noodles lack something August 27, 2009

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. :)
a fast lite lunch June 3, 2009

I eat this at work after adding hot water and it makes a fast lunch.
Great to keep at work April 2, 2009

I keep these soup cups in my desk at work. They're really easy to make with the hot water from the water cooler. Be careful because the cup becomes too hot to hold sometimes.
This is my favorite flavor from this brand line, though it smells funny to coworkers who aren't used to miso! I think it tastes great and makes a good snack or goes great with a sandwich or salad to be a lunch. The noodles are a great addition--regular miso soup is just too watery to be filling.
The seasoning comes in a packet so you can use less and get just as flavorful a meal but have less salt in your diet.
Note the nutrition info link at Amazon is based on half the package. I can't imagine anyone saving the rest for later, and 180 calories for the whole thing isn't exactly too much food! The cups I have purchased locally list it as one 180-cal serving so perhaps packaging has changed. Meanwhile I've had some cups seep a bit while eating them so it's not a container that's going to hold your soup longer than your mealtime. Put a napkin under the cup just in case.
I give it five stars for flavor and convenience but only four total because of the details/execution (leaks, hot cup, half portion nutrition labeling). It also seems a little pricey at two+ bucks each in my local grocery, but it's much better than traditional Ramen.

This, for a dried soup---and vegan (which likens us vegans w/ taste buds of steel...in searching for that tofu dish, that truly satisfies)...is so falvorful...I had to read the package twice...to make sure it truly was a vegan fare,,,it is....and it is delicious!!!!
