Garlic Ginger Miso Soup with Braising Greens

by Georgia O'Neal
This is a flu and cold killer!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Miso paste (I like red Miso)
• Soba Noodles
• 3 garlic clove, sliced thin
• 1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger (more if you like it spicier!)
• 2 qts water
• 2 Daikon radishes, sliced thick
• 3 big handfuls of braising greens, chopped into large pieces
• 1/2 block of firm tofu, cubed into 1/2 inch blocks
• Paprika

Directions:

1. Saute garlic and ginger in bottom of souse pan add a few dashes of paprika, when golden, not brown, add water.
2. When boiling add Soba noodles while cooking then for 5-7 minutes add Tofu, Daikon radish, and finally greens.
3. Take off heat when noodles are properly cooked, let stand for a few minutes.
4. Now add Miso, dissolving it into the soup by stiring it, do not let the miso boil. (Mito is a natural anti-oxidant and is a living thing, so don't kill it by boiling it.

   *** Please note, Miso paste and Soba Noodles can be bought at your local health food stores or food co-op.
