Miso soup

Miso soup for curing a cold
Serves 1

I’ve forgotten where I got this from. The umami taste makes me feel warm and fuzzy and comforted when ill.

Oh, it also helps to clear the blocked nose whenever I’ve a cold. You can try mixing the juice of one lemon with hot water and maple syrup/honey as well.

*

2 tablespoons of organic brown miso
6 cups purified water
2-3 tbsp of fresh ground ginger
3-5 tbsp of fresh ground or minced garlic
sliced green onions
seaweed
½ pack of finely diced tofu
1 tsp of cayenne
