RECIPE: Morning Miso Soup

[Guest guest]

Here's my favorite recipe for miso soup. :-) It's from the " vegetarian cooking

for dummies " cookbook. I like using mellow white miso in this recipe, that way

it doesn't overpower the scallions or the ginger. I also like adding more tofu

& mushrooms than the recipe calls for. Feel free to experiment!
