I needed to make a Healing Soup Recipe, because I had a case of heartburn from too much fun over the weekend. I find miso soup to be quite comforting, so I decided to make a variation of my Miso Soup with Veggies and Quinoa recipe and turn it into a Healing Soup Recipe. I upped the amount of carrots, tofu, garlic, added some ginger, and swapped out the quinoa for some noodles. Since I was using noodles, I increased the amount of liquid and miso. This turned out to be the perfect Healing Soup Recipe version of miso soup! It reminded me of how chicken noodle soup used to make me feel as a kid – but this is planted based and healthier! I will absolutely make this healing soup recipe again and again, especially if I am feeling under the weather or if the weather outside is chilly!
