This 'soup crimp song' from 'The Mighty Boosh' has been stuck in my head all day, exactly what happens if I watch an episode at 8am.
Actually the song has been quite handy because it decided what my lunch would be! Another reason why I chose this soup was Gillian McKeith's Food Bible, she said that miso contains manganese and selenium which is what I am lacking at the moment.
I trust Gillian, she is a doctor and after reading her book, 'You are what you eat' I decided I am a banana.
After googling like a mad woman I tried to track down dashi stock to make miso properly. Running around shops like a nutter was not fun and I gave in and purchased a jar of organic brown rice miso paste from an expensive health shop.
Also because it's Christmas I made the soup chunky and with a bit of style by adding turkey!
The wonderful thing about miso soup is how quick and easy it is to prepare, sort of like making a cup of tea, a mug of miso or tea are perfect in winter.
How do you like your miso?
Simple?
Meaty?
With tofu?

▶ Recipe for two servings.
Ingredients:
Organic brown rice miso paste (1 tsp)
300ml water
2 medium turkey breast fillets chopped.
1 clove of garlic crushed.
Peanut oil
Watercress
3 spring onions chopped.
100g dried egg noodles (was going to be ramen but for the price of a pack of these I could have got to Harrods and back on the tube)
Method:
Follow the instructions on a jar of miso please, it contains beneficial bacteria so doesn't need to be boiled for so long. My jar instructed me to add at the last minute.
: In a deep cooking pot add a drop of peanut oil and fry the garlic and turkey breast.
: Add the spring onions
: Pour in the water once turkey breast has gone white and add the noodles.
: Simmer until noodles are soft then stir in 1 tsp of miso paste, wait for the soup to turn colour.
: Taste to check if you need to add a bit more miso paste (very strong stuff so use wisely and in small amounts)
: Dish out and top with some watercress!
Enjoy drinking and eating a healthy dish.
