Lemony Miso Soup

Miso, a fermented paste made from soy beans, grain, salt, and bacteria, comes in a full range of flavors and colors. White miso, also called shiro miso or simply rice and soybean miso, has a lighter flavor than dark miso. This light and lemony soup takes no time to make. It was served for lunch at a yoga retreat with fresh pea-and-zucchini salad, dense whole grain bread, and fresh unsalted butter. It tasted so wonderful. Try serving this soup alongside a couscous salad with garbanzo beans or a sandwich spread with hummus and topped with grilled vegetables.
