Miso is a great source of tryptophan, manganese, vitamin K, zinc, copper, protein, and omega 3 fatty acids. The mineral, zinc, is very beneficial to the immune system. Garlic has antibacterial and antiviral properties, and has been known to help regulate the body against infection.
2 tsp red miso*
1 c boiling water
1 large garlic clove, halved
Cilantro for garnish
1/2 tsp seaweed gomasio
1/2 tsp lime juice
Put the miso in a bowl. Boil 1 cup of water. When the water is ready, mix in a few tablespoons with the miso. When the miso is dissolved, pour in the rest of the water. Add the garlic, cilantro, gomasio and lime juice.
*Some people make miso soup with the lighter flavor of white miso.

So lovely and simple. I've been fighting with the flu, so this sounds perfect. So comforting for this time of year!
It's great with tofu, sweet potatoes or mushrooms too! I added extra garlic to help boost my immune system.
