Notes

I recommend simmering the mushroom broth for at least 30 minutes to extract all the nutrients from the mushrooms.  However, if you are in a pinch you can decrease the simmer time!  Do not add miso paste to boiling soup as the high temperature will destroy the live enzymes and probiotics in the miso.
I like to serve this soup with steamed short grain brown rice that has been cooked with a little bit of coconut oil for added immune support.  Sprinkle with gomasio and pink sea salt for extra yumminess!
This soup can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is totally kid-friendly!  Noah loves drinking miso broth, which makes me a happy mom!
