High Protein Miso Soup
with a sprinkling of garlic, salt, and pepper |
A super healthy dinner that will warm you right up and make every part of you feel energized is literally only ten minutes away. I made this soup for myself last Friday night when I was cooking just for me because I wanted something warm and hearty that would be quick to prepare and quick to clean up. I had all but forgotten about miso soup in recent years until I was reminded of its many health benefits on a TV news show, and decided to pick up a few packets at the store. But a simple cup of broth would never satisfy me so I thought about how this type of soup is often served at Asian restaurants and improvised my own version using ingredients I had on hand. There are very few occasions where I enjoy tofu so plain, but it really works in this soup. I used frozen organic kale as my greens but you could easily substitute spinach or the more traditional seaweed if you prefer. And because I wanted an extra boost of protein to compensate for my week of working out, I added in a can of white beans as well. The result was a very simple, palate cleansing soup that made me feel like I was eating a delicious bowl full of health. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great source of vegan protein; I know I will be making another batch of it very soon!
