lemon tahini miso soup with chickpeas vegan gluten free best recipe

With the frigid temps these days, I’ve been cooking nothing but soup, soup and more soup!

Here is a new twist on traditional miso soup!

I was inspired from Heidi Swanson over at the blog 101 cookbooks to add tahini to my miso soup. If you haven’t checked out this site you should! She is one of the first bloggers I ever started following and I own all her cook books. Her photographs are beautiful and tell a story all their own. But, what I like most about her blog is the simple yet complex recipes she creates. She puts a spin on wholesome ingredients, which bring them to life. You can find the original recipe here, I can’t wait to try it out some night soon!

In the meantime, try out my recipe 🙂
