There is always a jar of miso paste in my fridge. Not only is it a great way to season food, but you can also use it in the more traditional way to make really tasty soups. I often add rice or buckwheat noodles to my soups. In keeping with the season, I decided to use asparagus instead of noodles for this recipe. Marinated in sesame oil and soy sauce, they are perfect for adding to soups.
