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.

Black Eyed Pea Salad
Cumin, Coriander and Balti Curry season this delicious vegetarian black-eyed pea salad. The peas can be substituted with another legume if desired, and the amounts of vegetables and dressing ingredients can always be altered to personal preference. Enjoy this healthy salad with buttered crusty sourdough, or as a wrap. It’s wonderful served over baked potatoes or stuffed into pita pockets, too.
