Immunity Building Miso Soup
(3)
Recipe by WI Cheesehead

This is a recipe my sister gave me to help build up my DD's immunity, and not get sick so often. Here's what she said about the ingredients: &quot;Basically the miso, the seaweed and the shitakes are DEEP immune builders, the ginger, the cayenne, the scallions help remove excess heat from the body and get circulation going.&quot; The ingredients can be increased or decreased to your preference. This is just what I did.
