Bring a pot of water to a boil, deep enough to cover the eggs by about 2 cm.
StovePot
2
Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
3
Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 7 minutes.
Stove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
4
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
To assemble
5
Put the onion, carrot, celery, parsley, garlic, bay leaves and thyme in a large pot with the cold water.
Large pot
💡Start with cold water: the vegetables release their flavor slowly as the water heats up.
6

13
Thin the miso with a few tablespoons of the hot stock and stir it into the pot. Don't boil again.
💡Don't boil miso: boiling dulls its flavor. Thin it with hot stock and add it at the end.
14
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water (4¼ cups of water and a heaping teaspoon of salt for every 4 oz of pasta), following the package directions (taste about 2 minutes early), until al dente.
StovePot
💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
15
Drain.
Colander
16
Divide the noodles among the bowls and pour the boiling soup over them.
