Tips:
As the miso is a fermented product, it is excellent for convalescent and fragile people, post-surgery, after childbirth, and also in case of food poisoning, etc. It is also very good for allergies, lack of vitality and yin conditions.
It is a slightly salty soup therefore it is more yang, so I always recommend that you garnish with something a little more refreshing (e.g. chopped chives, parsley, leek, lemon juice, rice vinegar and ginger juice). Any of these ingredients make a more balanced and refreshing soup.
