Customer reviews for Miso-Cup Soup with Seaweed, 2-Serving Envelopes (Pack of 24)
I bought this product to use while camping & on motorcycle trips - it works great as a soup base with udon or soba noodles and a handful of locally purchased or foraged veggies. It's also very handy to keep some when I'm traveling on the California coast and end up in a fog bank - more nutritious than a cup of coffee and it gets me home!
Miso-Cup Soup with Seaweed, 2-Serving Envelopes (Pack of 24) Review by Jennifer Leising (Bellevue, WA)
I am a fan of Miso soup. The rest of the household is not. I can buy Miso paste at my local grocery in both red and white, and it tastes wonderful, but to save on fridge space, I often purchase Kikkoman brand miso soup and recall having ordered the traditional version of Miso Cup soup a while ago and it was comparable. While it didn't contain any tofu or wakame seaweed, I have dried wakame in the pantry that I can easily add to an instant powder, and I have tofu as well (though I prefer not to open a whole package of tofu for a single serving of miso soup).
The first mistake I made with this soup was to throw it in a single-serving bowl and then realizing each packet was meant to make two servings. So I poured the contents into a larger container and added the two servings of boiling water from my electric kettle. I had to stir vigorously and still ended up with a large chunk of goop at the bottom that I had to mash apart in order to dissolve. It does not dissolve easily, even in a rolling boil. It reminds me a bit of the trouble I have when I want to mix cocoa powder mix for hot chocolate and having it clump up.
The first taste of this soup was DISGUSTING. Nothing like what miso soup was supposed to taste like. It was rancid and bitter. I couldn't eat more than two sips - I threw the remaining portions out immediately. Bitter bitter bitter! Disgusted, I read the packaging more carefully -- the Miso cup brand labels this soup as "Savory Soup with Seaweed". In fact, I don't even think this is actual miso soup - the other three versions listed on the package were all clearly labeled as various versions of Miso soup.
I made a friend taste it before I tossed it out, and we both agreed that it was bitter "like coffee." I hate coffee. This tasted bitter, and left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. I have to wonder whether my package was expired or foul - that's how awful it was.
I think I was duped by the brand name - "Miso Cup" is the brand, and this is not at all a miso soup. Either that, or I received a very disgusting rancid batch. This is nothing like the "Miso Cup" actual "Traditional Miso" variety that I remembered eating in the past. I am so disgusted I am not going back to this brand at all, I am sticking to the sweeter Kikkoman brand that includes dehydrated wakame and tofu. It's many times more expensive, but it actually tasted like Miso soup. I realize this "Miso Cup" brand is supposed to be more natural, but if I wanted I could easily just buy the miso paste at the grocer and make it myself (mix with boiling water), especially if I'm going to have to add the wakame myself. At least the flavor would be consistent with that faintly sweet miso taste.
No more bitter junk for me. I can't see how anyone could consider this appetizing. I can only hope that I received a rancid batch.
Miso-Cup Soup with Seaweed, 2-Serving Envelopes (Pack of 24) Review by Rose Wood "Luci_D" (USA)
There are several brands of Miso-cup Soup on the market and in the grocery stores, all with the same or similar names.
I have tried several of them and have been disappointed to the point where I have to throw the remaining product in the trash.
This Miso-cup soup, distributed by Edward & Sons Trading in Carpinteria, CA uses higher quality ingredients than the others, and tastes a lot better.
It can be used as a broth to cook rice too.
