Not sure if it's the simplest solution, but you can write a middleware to intercept data written to the response. Make sure you disable app.compress().

function logResponseBody(req, res, next) {
  var oldWrite = res.write,
      oldEnd = res.end;

  var chunks = [];

  res.write = function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);

    oldWrite.apply(res, arguments);
  };

  res.end = function (chunk) {
    if (chunk)
      chunks.push(chunk);

    var body = Buffer.concat(chunks).toString('utf8');
    console.log(req.path, body);

    oldEnd.apply(res, arguments);
  };

  next();
}

app.use(logResponseBody);
