"This is my go-to soup when I need a feel-good pick me up: full of warming ginger and a delicate miso base, and that, best of all, it only takes about 20 minutes to whip up. I like to have frozen veggie and tofu dumplings (either Japanese gyoza or Korean mandu) from the Asian supermarket in the fridge for hunger-emergencies, and this is the accompanying broth that I warm them up in again and again. You could also use the dumplings of your choice, or use the broth as a base for noodle soups with tofu and veggies. I hope it serves you as well as it serves me!"
