At some point most every day, a delish and healthful cup of miso soup always hits the spot. Here's the easy way to get your probiotics, vitamins and fresh garlic & onions all at once. I start w/ a cup or bowl that holds about 2+ cups of liquid. Use a small whisk to scoop out a generous tablespoon of your favorite organic miso.
Add in a small clove of minced garlic, about a teaspoon or two of any handy minced greens. Pictured are golden and red beet greens w/ some chives & a whisper of minced ginger. Sometimes I mince the ginger, and sometimes I put coin sized slices in and munch on them as I go. I also like a little pickled minced onion. No more than a teaspoon. I make mine by finely dicing a large yellow onion and adding in about a teaspoon each of sea salt and honey. Combine in a glass jar. I add some spices like turmeric, fenugreek or curry powder. Then I top it off w/ living champagne or apple cider vinegar (with the Mother of vinegar). I let it cure for a few days at room temp. And what's left goes into the fridge until it gets used up.
On top of your miso mix add about 3/4 cup of cool, best quality water. I let this mix sit and cure for an hour or overnight.
When you're ready to enjoy this living food probiotic flavor treat, boil up some quality water. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 mins or so. Top off your soup w/ about 3/4 cups hot water, stir again and drink it up w/ gusto. You don't want to boil the miso or you'll damage the beneficial probiotic bacteria.
