Ingredients

400ml           Boiling water

1 tbsp             Sweet white miso (2 if you don’t use bone broth)

1 frozen          Conc. bone broth capsule  - I used these https://www.lovetaste.co/pages/bone-broth

1 thumb          Ginger (finely sliced)

1 thumb          Turmeric (finely sliced)

1 clove            Garlic (finely sliced)

150g               Mixed fresh veg (I used broccoli, carrot, courgette)

50g                 Shitake mushroom (sliced)

100g frozen    Edamame

Few dashes     Tabasco or chili oil

Black pepper

Splash of         Sesame oil

 

Method

Place the water, miso, bone broth, ginger, garlic, turmeric and tabasco in to a sauce pan and bring to the boil.

 

Add the veg except for the edamame and boil for 4 mins, then add edamame for last minute.

 

Season with black pepper and sesame oil (these will both help the absorption of the turmeric’s beneficial polyphenols).  Serve.
