Publisher's Synopsis
Soups seem to have more benefits than we can imagine. Hot and cold soups are great for the metabolism because they are easy for digesting and they hydrate our body. Hot soups are a great way to help your body when you have fever or diarrhea or when you want to treat yourself in the cold period. On the other hand, cold soups are perfect for summer when our body needs something hydrating and fresh. Miso soup is among the most popular soups around the world. It is a traditional Japanese soup. It is made of stock known as 'dashi' and the miso paste is added to the stock. Despite these two basic ingredients, many more can be added by it depends on the region, culture and of course the taste. Miso pastes are traditional Japanese seasoning which are made of soybeans with salt (it is possible many other ingredients to be found in the miso paste - it depends on the producer of the paste). Miso pastes can be red, white or a color in between. The red miso paste is considered to have a strong and deep flavor and the other types of miso have a light and mild flavor. The flavor of miso pastes depends on the cooking time of the miso pastes.
