RE: miso soup fro greg

[Guest guest]

I LOVE miso soup. never ever get tired of it. In the beginning I used to just dump lots of water, lots of vegetables, and kept adjusting and tasting how much miso it needed. Now I measure!!! Only 1 cup of water (I'm trying not to overeat), only one kind of vegetable, cut thin, and a green (usually kale from my garden) - and 1/2 tsp miso - I don't watch the clock, but I'm sure it never needs 15 minutes to cook that amount.

miso soup fro greg

I LOVE miso soup. never ever get tired of it.

In the beginning I used to just dump lots of water, lots of vegetables,

and kept adjusting and tasting how much miso it needed. Now I measure!!!

Only 1 cup of water (I'm trying not to overeat), only one kind of vegetable,

cut thin, and a green (usually kale from my garden) - and 1/2 tsp miso - I

don't watch the clock, but I'm sure it never needs 15 minutes to cook that

amount.

Did I already say I absolutely LOVE my miso soup??!!!! :>)

Klara

p.s. Big huge thanks to you . I just got my order and am ever

so grateful to be having unpasteurized miso.

carrots are great! Radish, daikon, onion. You can put a combination or

just one.

finely diced cabbage, shiitake mushrooms

then just before you serve add a little green garnsih like finely

chopped parsley or scallions

there are traditional miso recipes but you can make miso soup with anything.

sometimes I put in leftover rice or other grains, beans, noodles etc

it should not be too salty

no more than 1/2 to 1 tsp of miso per cup pf soup.

add the miso paste to a little hot water taken out of the simmering soup

and then mix it in that then add back to the soup and simmer a few

minutes without boiling so the friendly bacteria stay alive

and enjoy!

here is a recipe of mine....

What is Miso?

Miso is a savoury, fermented cooking ingredient, made from soybeans and

sea salt. It can also contain whole grains such as brown rice or barley

and is aged from several weeks to several years. It has been honoured in

Asian countries especially China

and Japan

for centuries, where it is

revered as a healing food. Modern nutritional analysis has confirmed

that it is a good source of protein, B vitamins, friendly bacteria and

enzymes. It has been used to cleanse the body of nicotine and ameliorate

the effects of radiation. Unpasteurised miso contains friendly bacteria

and enzymes which can rebuild intestinal flora that has been damaged

through a diet high in meat, sugar, chemicals and the ingestion of

antibiotics.

Ingredients

.. 2 ½ cups spring water

.. ½ cup finely sliced carrot

.. 3 inch strip of wakame sea vegetable, preferably pre-soaked for

5-15 minutes

.. 1 tablespoon unpasteurised rice or barley miso or variety of your

choice

Method

.. Bring water to the boil and add a 3 inch strip of wakame - either

whole of crumbled.

.. Add carrot and simmer until tender - about 15 minutes.

.. Pour about 1/4 cup of the soup into a bowl or suribachi and puree

with miso paste.

.. Slip a flame deflector under the soup and when the soup is no

longer boiling add the pureed miso back to the pot and simmer for 3 minutes.

.. Garnish with chopped parsley or spring onions.

.. Serve and enjoy before or with your meal.

Variatons

Instead of carrot - use leek, daikon, pumpkin or other root or ground

vegetables.

In warmer weather try juicier vegetables such as zucchini, fresh corn,

green beans or chinese cabbage.
