unpasteurized miso

There’s nothing more soothing than an awesome bowl of miso soup – the Japanese equivalent to chicken soup! Use any miso you like – the darker, red miso is typically a winter food; the lighter white and yellow miso varieties are lighter and enjoyed more often in spring and summer. Vary the vegetables as you wish, however, for the probiotic benefits, use only UNpasteurized miso (never dried or powdered), added to slightly cooled hot soup, but not boiling-hot.
