Zucchini noodle soup with miso and bacon! You can never go wrong with miso paste, right. How I love that tacky and salty Japanese stuff! So it quite often ends up in my pots and pans at home.
How about you?
Are you a miso lover as well?
I love to add it to soups for example – and hey, did you know that miso is also a super fantastic meat rub! I love it especially in combination with lamb. Sounds odd? It works!
Zoodles!
So… zucchini noodles. What?
Well it seems like you can also call zucchini noodles ‘zoodles’!
Just google zoodles or zoodle recipes and you will be amazed by the popularity of zucchini noodles. Why? Well apparently zucchini noodles or zoodles are a great alternative for pasta: zoodles are healthy and gluten-free.
And by the way zoodles are a superb way of adding extra vegetables to your diet!
Try it!
Easy Zucchini Noodle Soup with Miso & Bacon
Besides, zucchini is just the perfect vegetable to shred with my awesome KitchenAid Spiralizer: it is not too soft or too hard and you do not need to peel the skin because the zucchini skin is not too thick or hard.
So here is next zoodle recipe I will try out: a Chinese zoodle stir fry with oyster sauce, egg noodles and beef! Well that sounds like a zoodle version of my stir fried egg noodles with oyster sauce and vegetables!

Batata Udon Noodles
Here in Spain we have a kind of white sweet potato called batatas.
I initially wanted to make my miso soup below with batata noodles because they would be white. And kind of resemble something like classic udon noodles.
However once I attached the batata to the machine and turned it on, it broke into large bits once the grater blade hit it.
No worries.
That is what experimenting is all about then!
So it sounds more like I will make a batata mash later this week. In the meantime: try out my zucchini noodle soup recipe and let me know how it was!
Enjoy!
