IMMUNITY BUILDING MISO SOUP
This is a recipe my sister gave me to help build up my DD's immunity, and not get sick so often. Here's what she said about the ingredients: "Basically the miso, the seaweed and the shitakes are DEEP immune builders, the ginger, the cayenne, the scallions help remove excess heat from the body and get circulation going." The ingredients can be increased or decreased to your preference. This is just what I did.

MISO SOUP
Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently-sized jars or packets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

IMMUNITY SOUP
Modern research shows that astragalus root, a Chinese herb long used to ward off colds and flu, has powerful immune-enhancing properties. The sliced dried root is available online and in herb stores. It is nontoxic and adds a pleasant, sweet taste when simmered in soups. Shiitake mushrooms also have an antiviral effect. Garlic is an antibiotic; ginger, a natural anti-inflammatory agent.

Steps:
- Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook until soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, carrots, astragalus root, stock and 2 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes.
- Add tamari and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Add broccoli and cook until tender, about 2 minutes.
- Remove astragalus root pieces. Ladle soup into serving bowls and garnish with scallions before serving.
- MUSHROOM STOCK:.
- Stock used in restaurants is usually made with chicken, but we serve so many vegetarian dishes that we needed something different for our sauces and soups. Shiitake mushrooms impart a savory essence; you'll never miss the meat. Keep in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a month.
- Chop 2 ribs celery and 1 medium onion and put in large pot with 2 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms and 2 1/2 quarts water.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
- Turn off heat, cover, and let stock steep 20 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce.
- Pour stock through a fine-mesh strainer, discard solids, and let cool.
- (Makes 2 quarts.).
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your miso soup will taste. Look for organic and locally-sourced vegetables, and use a good quality miso paste.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch to them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their nutrients and flavor.
- Add miso paste at the end of cooking: Miso paste is a delicate ingredient that can be easily overpowered by other flavors. Add it to the soup at the end of cooking, once the vegetables are tender and the broth is hot.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and vegetables: Fresh herbs and vegetables add a pop of color and flavor to miso soup. Some good options include scallions, cilantro, parsley, and wakame seaweed.
Conclusion:
Miso soup is a delicious and nutritious soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to boost your immune system and improve your overall health. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy miso soup that the whole family will enjoy.
