Healing Broth Recipe

By: Meg Thompson

This broth is food as medicine in a bowl and I love to make it when I’m feeling under the weather.

Recipe

Ingredients

1 onion, diced
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
5 cloves garlic, smashed & chopped
12 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 large carrot, diced
100g smoked tofu, diced (optional)
¼ cup miso paste, unpasteurised if possible

Method

Add onion and coconut oil to medium to large saucepan and sauté until soft.
Add ginger and garlic, and cook for 2 mins.
Add 5 cups of water to pot, along with shiitake mushrooms and carrot. Simmer for 15 mins, then turn off heat. I like to remove mushrooms at this point, thinly slice them and return them to broth.
Add tofu if using.
Next, place 1 tbsp miso paste and a ladle of broth to each serving bowl. Stir until dissolved, then finish serving out broth into bowls.
