It's ready to eat in ½ an hour, easy to digest and will be perfect on cold nights when you're tired and in need of a little TLC.
Ingredients
1½ litres water, filtered
1/3 cup miso, (genmai or kome)
Method
Rinse the lentils and add to a pan with the water. Bring to the boil then reduce to simmer for 15 minutes.
Skim off any accumulated froth on the surface of the water. Add the carrot and ginger and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes. Mix the miso paste in ½ cup water until it's smooth and pour it into the soup. Return to the boil then turn the heat off and serve immediately.
Note : Boil miso for no more than 1 minute or you'll kill the friendly health promoting bacteria. Miso is a wonderful strengthening food and excellent to feed a cold or flu.
