Soup Week Continues Onward: Miso Soup

Miso tired of being sick... haha...ugh...

Full of nutrients, great for digestion and apparently a boost to your immune system. Not only that but it makes for an awesome breakfast. It's good anytime of the day for that matter



Ah good ol' miso soup, I always order a bowl whenever possible and recently decided to experiment with making miso at home. I don't think I've mastered it quite yet but I'll post the recipe anyways and you guys can let me know what you think.

Also this is a single served recipe but you can easily double, triple ect.

Miso Soup  serves 1

• 1c (8oz) vegetable stock
• 2t shredded dried seaweed
• 1 oz mushroom, sliced thin (1oz = about 1 mushroom, I used white since that's all I had)
• 1.5 oz extra firm tofu, drained and cubed
• 1 green onion, sliced thin
• 1t soy sauce
• a pinch of Japanese 7 spice (optional)
• 2t miso paste

Pour vegetable stock into a small saucepan and add dried seaweed, let soak for 8-10 min (no heat). In the meantime prepare the rest of the ingredients except for the miso and start adding them to the pot. Turn the stovetop on and heat the soup to just before it boils (6-10 min). Remove from heat pour into a bowl and stir in the miso until it dissolves. Do NOT boil the miso! It'll destroy the health properties.
