    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Combine chicken stock, miso paste and 1 1/2 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.

    2 Add chicken breast and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add vegetables and bring back to a boil. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Remove ginger pieces from soup.

    3 Season with pepper and garnish with parsley or basil, if desired. Serve with sourdough bread on the side.

    Variations

    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free sourdough and stock, and check miso is gluten free.
    • If you don’t have miso, use salt-reduced chicken stock powder or gel, but halve the quantity.

    HFG tip

    Miso is a Japanese fermented paste made from soy beans, barley or rice. It has an intense, savoury flavour. Use miso as a soup on its own, mixed with hot water. It can also be used, as it is in this recipe, in place of stock or as a flavour enhancer. Miso is high in sodium, so a little goes a long way.
