Japanese raw miso soup

We love miso soup now that we have found a gluten free miso. The chickpea miso is made with rice instead of barley. This recipe from Ani Phyo is good, but next time we will replace 3/4 of a cup of the olive oil with a quarter of an avocado and increase the water to 4 cups. We also used coconut aminos instead of a soy based product. We also used avocado oil in the marinade instead of extra virgin olive oil.
