I will try that addition when I make it again later this week.<br /><br />Have you ever tried kale in miso soup? I thought about it but decided it may take too long to cook in the soup.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-31358168857540619242009-11-16T10:56:23.208-05:002009-11-16T10:56:23.208-05:00Wow, we had miso soup yesterday too, it's so y...Wow, we had miso soup yesterday too, it's so yummy!

Thanks!
The nutritional ...Michelle (blessedmama),<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />The nutritional information is easy. I bought a cookbook program called "Living Cookbook". It was very inexpensive (somewhere in the neighborhood of $35). I input the ingredients and the program calculates the nutrition. It is a great program. Sometimes now I put the ingredients in before cooking and calculate the numbers and then change the ingredients to get the nutrition I want. I tend to micromanage our nutrition a little more than is probably necessary. <br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-73612508167140627682009-11-15T18:00:19.067-05:002009-11-15T18:00:19.067-05:00Mmm,I love miso soup, shitakes and bok choy.

You must have some training in that area.

This is really my kind of food. I alwalys add miso paste in my veggie soup before serving without knowing that it's better not to cook miso paste. I'm so glad I've been doing the right thing, YAY!

Then, chef would dunk in a ladle of miso paste and stirred it all up just before lunch service began.<br /><br />I don't have a clue if that's what goes into traditional miso soup, but I liked this version; I often had it on my lunch break.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-29289341754806423582009-11-15T15:36:11.998-05:002009-11-15T15:36:11.998-05:00Rose,

You answered my question of how to send this to lunch for the hubby.<br /><br />Do you remember any ingredients in the restaurant version of the soup that I should have included?<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-10344093089603046792009-11-15T15:25:35.744-05:002009-11-15T15:25:35.744-05:00What a healthy breakfast.
