Miso, The Japanese Chicken Soup
Today we are traveling to the Pacific Rim to explore the cuisine of Japan as expressed by that popular broth called miso soup. For many Miso is considered almost a cure-all in that it is so good for you not unlike the American notion about chicken soup. Miso is the dish that comes to us in a small bowl at the beginning of our meal served at our favorite sushi or sashimi cafe in Los Angeles, Chicago or New York, among many other communities.
