Easy Miso Soup

Easy Miso Soup

This is the perfect soup for a day when you crave a home-cooked meal but don’t have much time. I ate this warming, strengthening soup a lot when I lived in Shanghai. A nutritional powerhouse full of Omega 3, probiotics, iodine, and estrogen-detoxifiers, this miso soup will revitalize you. To retain the probiotic potency of miso, never add it to a boiling broth. Follow my instructions to experience all of miso’s benefits.

Even though this recipe includes soy, I decided to make an exception and include it because fermented soy, such as miso, tends to be well tolerated by most people. If you are doing the Elimination Diet or can’t eat soy, use soy-free miso made of chickpeas or adzuki beans (you can get it from South River). If you suffer from a thyroid condition and Hashimoto’s, omit this recipe.
