Sorry for the lack of posts in the last week. I was suddenly struck with some sort of winter bug and haven’t been able to do much of anything. However I am finally back on the mend, luckily just in time for the holidays. Although I haven’t been able to eat much, this simple soup has been on the menu the last couple of days since I finally started feeling better. If you like miso soup, this is a great version with shrimp, tofu, and spinach.
