Red Miso Soup with Eggplant

Just like red wine, red miso soups work best with warm dishes. White miso soups pair well with warm dishes, too, but, personally, I feel having hot red miso soups in cold weather fills the bill. Nasu is Japanese for eggplant. You will see that red miso soup and purple eggplant blend well together, just like juicy steaks and dark red wine. By the way, the eggplant’s skin is rich in antioxidants.
