Notes:
-
Miso is a fermented food that contains enzymes, vitamins & minerals. Cooking it at a high heat destroys some of the health benefits. Adding it to your soup at the end of the cooking process is important.
- Miso is also high is sodium, so don’t over salt your veggies of soup prior to adding your miso mixture. You can always add salt after.
