Miso Soup

I love miso soup! For those of you who have never had the fortunate occasion to try miso soup let me explain...

Many Japanese people begin their day with a bowl of miso soup and in some traditional households miso soup is homemade from scratch. The basic ingredient is miso which is soy bean paste. There are variations as to other ingredients- tofu, spring onions, seaweed and daikon (Japanese radish) feature regularly. Miso soup has a really salty taste, like the sea, and just eating it makes you feel healthy! The Japanese claim that there is a correlation between the consumption of miso soup and longevity of life!

So if you've never tried it I suggest you do expecially coming into the winter. It makes me feel warm and safe and reminds me of my other life in Japan.

Mmmm miso soup :)
