Jan 21, 2016 I was going to blame mommy-brain, or the related lack of sleep. But I think there’s enough of a pattern to establish that I’m just ditzy. And you know what? I’m cool with that. I’m gonna tell myself it’s adorable. The dog, who was left staring at the wrong side of a door with his legs crossed, probably doesn’t think it’s all that adorable. Which I guess I can understand. I did forget him tied to a parking meter outside of the liquor store last week, too… But anyway, let’s talk about soup. This is the fastest bowl you will ever make, unless we’re just pouring boiling water over ramen noodles. In fact, it’s hardly more complicated. You just bring some broth to a boil on the stove (or you could even use water). While it’s heating up, prep the rest. Whisk in some miso paste, which is deeply flavourful, perfectly salty and rich in umami. Then add some quick-cooking noodles (like the afore-mentioned ramen), along with some greens, soft tofu and sliced green onion. BAM! Soup. Healing, nourishing, steaming, soothing soup.
