This is a very simple, highly
nutritious, and delicious recipe. It’s perfect to boost your immune system
and detoxify your body. It is vegetarian, vegan and
gluten-free. Of course, it's best if you can use an onion and scallion
from your own garden or your neighbor's garden!
Ingredients:
- One yellow onion
- Wakame seaweed
- Miso brown rice paste
- Sea salt
- One bunch of scallions
- Olive oil
- Tofu (sprouted tofu is best)
Preparation and cooking instructions:
- In a large pot, gently sauté the onion in olive oil until the onion is slightly transparent, but
remains crunchy.
- Create broth by adding desired amount
of hot water and brown rice paste to the sautéed onion. Start with a half-gallon of water and 3/4 cup of paste and add more water or paste as needed. Add sea salt
to preferred taste. Mix well until all the brown rice
paste has dissolved into the water.
- Drain and cut the tofu into
bite-sized pieces and add to broth.
- Add two cups of dried wakame
seaweed. The seaweed will expand and soften in the water. More seaweed
may be added if desired.
- Chop the scallions and add to broth.
Since all these ingredients essentially can be eaten raw, cooking time is minimal. Make sure all the brown rice paste has dissolved, the seaweed has expanded to full size, and the tofu is warm all the way through. It's easy to reheat this soup and add fresh seaweed, so making a large quantity is a good idea.
*Nutritional note: seaweed contains all of the minerals and many of the vitamins the human body requires for restoring and maintaining supreme
health! Seaweed is known to prevent diseases and
enhance the healing process for cancer, heart disease, and immune deficiency
disorders.
