Miso Soup for Healing

I feel that MISO SOUP has been one of the keys to my healing from Eczema.  I had tried a store-bought Miso Soup once and didn't like it. I learned from Sanae Suzuki who is Whole Health Natural Healing Counselor in Santa Monica, CA  how to make Miso Soup the correct way. I found that it was wonderfully satisfying.  I could almost feel it healing me. I felt I was finally "eating to live" instead of "living to eat". You can learn to cook with Sanae Suzuki's Cooking Classes.

Sanae suggested I make my Miso Soup with BARLEY MISO by Miso Master Organic.  I found the 16 oz carton of Traditional soy paste - Premium Organic 2 year in the refrigerator section of a health food store in Santa Monica, CA.  At first, I thought it expensive at $9.99, but it lasted me 6 weeks using it every day.  When I got to Michigan,  I could not find this brand and the clerks suggested to Certified Organic Three-year Barley MISO which is also very good.

Every morning, I heat 2 cups of spring water and simmer it for about 10 minutes with a 1-inch piece of KOMBU Sea Vegetable by Eden. I drink one cup of the tea and reserve the rest.  About an hour later, I cut up about a Tablespoon each of 4 or 5 vegetables ( 2 root vegetables - carrot, daikon radish, turnip, parsnip, etc.) and a Tablespoon each of 2 or 3 other vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, scallions, leeks, celery, etc).  I cook them on medium heat for 1-2 minutes and then ADD one or 2 tablespoons of Kale cut up in small pieces and cook for 1-2 minutes.   Then, POUR ABOUT 2-3 TABLESPOONS OF THE HOT LIQUID in a bowl and ADD 1/2 tsp of MISO PASTE and dissolve it in the hot liquid. Then put this back in the pot and heat on low for one or two minutes.  DO NOT BOIL THE MISO.   I put it in a bowl (makes about one cup of Miso Soup). Sometimes I add a small amount of Gomashio (that I make from sesame seeds and sea salt).  You can buy it in a health food store. The Miso Soup RECIPES are on pages 49 , 99 and 149 of LOVE, SANAE by Sanae Suzuki.  Her Gomashio Recipe is on page 127.

I have made MISO soup every day for 7 weeks now. I feel this is one of the most important parts of my healthy eating which is curing my eczema.I
