Miso Soup

Miso is a particularly valuable food for vegans. The bacteria in miso synthesize vitamin B12, a difficult nutrient to obtain from diets that contain no animal products. Miso is a concentrated protein source, with just one tablespoon containing a full two grams. Miso and other fermented soy foods may also help lower the cancer, a team of researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that laboratory animals whose diets were enhanced with miso had a lower incidence of breast cancer and a slower growth rate of cancer cells. Cabbage, in addition to being high in vitamins K and C, is also high in cholesterol-lowering fiber - the four cups in this recipe provide almost 15 grams of fiber - making this soup a heart-healthy choice. Ingredients 2 teaspoons expeller-pressed canola oil 3 slices fresh ginger root, thinly sliced 1 large onion, thinly sliced 2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced 4 cups coarsely chopped cabbage 5 cups water 4 tab
