Miso Soup

An incredible stop-gap for hunger, miso-soup is amazingly low in calories and quite high in vitamins and minerals. To make it, you will need to visit an asia-market or oriental store, and buy the following things:

  • firm tofu
  • spring-onions
  • wakame (plain, dried seaweed)
  • miso (fermented soybean paste)
  • dashi
  • soy sauce

Assembling the soup takes minutes. Put your water on to boil. While it is boiling, simply chop up about half of one of the spring onions and toss it into a bowl. To this, add about a dessert-spoonful of wakame, a tsp of soya-sauce, about a dessert-spoonful of miso paste and the tiniest pinch of dashi; (it’s very strong-flavoured!) Pour the boiling water onto this mix and stir it until the miso has all dissolved. It may be easiest to add the water gradually, so you don’t get big lumps of miso floating in the broth. Just before you serve this, dice about 1/4 of your tofu block and toss the tofu into the soup. You’ll find this a warming, nourishing, salty kind of bliss and the trace elements from the seaweed are very good for keeping your iodine levels up and your thyroid good and healthy.
