Miso Hot!

Once I saw a t-shirt that said:  "Miso Hot".  I'm corny, so I thought it was funny.  However, ever since I read that, I had wondered what miso was.  Not wanting to be left out of the fun, I researched miso, and read; that it is a fermented paste made out of soybeans.  Ew!  At that point, I decided I'd heard enough, and that miso was not for me.

However, I went to brunch yesterday, and saw a miso soup on the menu.  Since, I am determined to discover new things, and continue my foodie journey, I ordered the miso.  I'm so glad I did.  The soup was, of course, made with miso, but it also had spicy tofu, shredded cabbage, zucchini, green onion, and a half a boiled egg for good measure.  I omitted the noodles, since I'm on a special grain-free diet.

The soup was bold, and to my surprise the tofu was sublime.  It was one of the best soups I've ever had.  I'm so glad I was brave enough to try this amazing dish.  I hope you try it.  When you do, let me know what you think!  Ciao!
