I've mentioned this in my miso thread but thought it deserved its own thread. I've been watching the Dr Oz show a few times since I'm amazed by how much natural health info he gives on a mainstream TV show, I think he's doing an awesome job at nudging people into natural health, they even went as far as giving a natural cure for cancer last week!

In one or more shows he mentioned the health benefits of miso, wakame and cilantro and thought these would make an awesome soup with the health benefits of all 3 ingredients. Since then I've told myself I'd make at least one of these soups per day, but it's so good I often make 2 or 3 per day.

This is what I do:

Fill a bowl with about 2 cups of warm water, add 1-2 tbsp of dark unpasteurized miso, I then use a whip to dissolve it into the water. Add about 1 tsp of dried wakame (it will expand tremendously), then chop about a quarter to half a cup of fresh cilantro and add it to the soup.

This is so good it's addictive!

I love miso soup. Sometimes I use spinach and mushrooms if Iam out of wakame. I use mellow white miso paste because that is what the kids will eat. We have to have scallios too. Yummy.

i love miso soup... and doenjang chigae (korean miso soup lol)... *sigh* one of the few things i miss about cooked food. :/

i really dislike cilantro... it has such a weird taste to me... i dunno if you have heard of it where you guys are.. but here.. there is this lip balm that's called "chicken poop"... it comes in a black & white tube.. lol it's not literally made out of chicken poop or anything like that, that is just a funny name for it. anyway... cilantro tastes a lot like chicken poop lip balm, in my humble opinion... it just has a funky flavor that i don't like... it tastes... like.. something you can use to clean your house. lol and not in a good way! i can tolerate the chicken poop flavor better than i can cilantro, though.. cilantro tends to make me sick. my immediate reaction is to get it out of my mouth. mexican restaurants with homeade salsa that's heavy on the cilantro is like my worst nightmare lol i don't know how people can like cilantro so much. i know it is ultra healthy. i wish i liked it. maybe i will get used to it's taste when i have been raw longer.. but it's just not something i currently enjoy... at all. sorta like MSM... you eat it because it's good for you, but it makes you wish you could lick your own butt to get the taste out of your mouth. lol
