This MISO SOUP recipe is the cure for all that ails you! Once you have gathered the ingredients, it's quick to preapre. I do not add tofu as miso paste is fermented soy and more beneficial. I eat this soup to remedy congestion, digestion, and the winter blues of late. Kids especially enjoy the salty flavors of miso soup!

KUZU can be used as a thickener like corn starch and is commonly used in macrobiotic cooking for healing. "It's been used by Eastern healers for almost 2,000 years and is most often utilized in foods to impart its ability to heal and balance natural sugars. While other roots such as ginseng, burdock, beets and carrots are prized for their nutritional value, none comes close to kuzu and its ability to quell digestive disturbances and calm the nerves. Kuzu is also noted for its high flavonoid composition and is gaining traction in the medical community for its ability to treat a variety of health concerns..." mindbodygreen.com
MISO is a Japanese word that means "fermented beans.
