We have been getting lots of snow here in Vancouver and more snow is in the forecast for the next few days. We are still dealing with the snow on the ground that fell during the Christmas break. With the freezing temperature and more in the forecast, it looks like the snow is not going anywhere. This miso soup with pork and edamame was one of the many soups that I made to keep us warm during these cold and snowy days. The strips of pork were cooked until browned and then added later on to the miso broth mixture of aromatics, vegetables and soy beans (edamame). It was a healthy, comforting and warming soup to have on a cold, snowy day. Enjoy!
