Happy Winter Solstice!

Since we all deserve a little warmth on the shortest day of the year, here is a fast and simple recipe from Culinary Coach that’s also a boost for the gut microbiome.

One of our favorite superfoods, Miso contains good bacteria like Lactobacillus that promotes gut health, supports digestion and boosts the immune system. Try it yourself—check out the recipe below:

Culinary Coach Miso Soup 🫕
Ingredients:
4 cups of water or dashi (Japanese soup stock)
3 tablespoons of white miso paste
1/2 cup of cubed tofu
1 sheet of nori (dried seaweed), cut into small pieces
1/4 cup of thinly sliced green onions
Instructions:
Prepare the broth: Heat the water or dashi in a pot until it’s almost boiling, then reduce to medium heat.
Dissolve miso: Place the miso paste in a small bowl. Add a ladleful of the hot broth and whisk until smooth. Return this mixture to the pot.
Add tofu and nori: Gently stir in the cubed tofu and nori. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, making sure the soup doesn’t boil, as boiling can alter the flavor of the miso.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with green onions.

Happy Soup Season!
