Sensational Soy Soup-Miso Happy

Miso! Miso!

Having a yummy bowl of soy soup is so satisfying. It's ready in minutes. I chopped up some spinach and added a few carrots to this bowl, but you can add anything you want or nothing at all. The soy paste is a wonderful broth all on its own, or used as a marinade for fish or sauteed dishes. Maybe you just add in some ramen. Tofu is a very popular ingredient. However you fix it, it's one tasty flavor you'll want to keep on hand. Soy bean paste is vitamin and mineral-rich plus high in protein. There are many kinds of miso available. Most American markets carry white, red, and brown miso but if you have a nice Japanese market near by, they have a larger selection. Buy organic!

IMPORTANT TIP:  You don't want to cook your miso paste. Never boil miso. Simmer your desired add-in ingredients in water or stock, dissolve miso in a small amount of water and then combine.
