Hi Everyone,
I found a great soup!! Monday night dinner is right around the corner. Below is a rich in calcium and low calorie soup that can satisfy your hunger and build your bones too!
I found it on http://www.self.com/fooddiet/recipes/2011/06/miso-soup-with-vegetables-and-tofu. This is another great site for food & diet information. If you would rather read an actual magazine, SELF is informative and worthy of your review.
Miso Soup With Vegetables and Tofu
Tofu is a surprisingly rich source of calcium, which may discourage your body from storing fat, especially in the tummy region.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 tablespoons red miso (or more to taste)
- 1 large clove garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, divided
- 1/2 lb firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 1/4 lb snow peas, trimmed
- 4 pinch large radishes, thinly sliced
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pea shoots, sunflower sprouts or radish sprouts
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
PREPARATION
- Blend miso with garlic, ginger, 1 cup cool water and 1 tbsp vinegar in a food processor until smooth. Transfer miso broth to a bowl; stir in 2 cups cool water. Divide broth, tofu, snow peas, radishes and scallions among 4 bowls. Toss pea shoots with remaining 1/2 tbsp vinegar and oil; garnish each bowl before serving.
