It is National Soup Month, so says my friend YumSugar. So I thought I would tell you about a little research done on miso soup recently.
Japanese researchers found that brown seaweed, used to make miso, "stimulates a protein that causes fat oxidation and conversion of energy to heat." Translated into plain English, it helps burn fat. Belly fat to be even more specific. Well, belly fat of mice to be even more specific.
Now, I need to remind you that the findings are preliminary and no testing has been done on humans. I for one, however, will be using this as an excuse to go out for sushi and order miso soup to kick off the meal.

I already love this stuff, if this is true, even better!
1i love miso.
2Yay! Now I know where the BF is taking me out to eat this weekend
~M~
3Also, if you live near an Asian grocery store, or have a decent Asian section in your grocery store, it is actually not hard to make by yourself (although I cheat and use vegetable or watered down chicken stock).
4I LOVE me some Miso! Yum Yum Yum!
5Mmmm, yummy. I will use this as an excuse to go out to eat sushi and miso more often.
6I just "mad" miso soup for the 1st time last night...from a freeze dried package, and my 7 year old even liked it.
I think I need a recipe...any help fir or yum?
7mmmm im down for that!
8Wow this is an easy choice! I love Miso too!
9miso is my favorite soup! It goes great with sweet potato tempura !
10I guess I need to expand my soup "horizons" and try it. Thanks fit.
11Miso is great. I buy the paste from my grocery store. If you shop at New Seasons, Whole Foods, or Wild Oats they usually sell it in the refrigerator case and it is much better than the powdered stuff!
12I posted a great little recipe for Veggie Miso Soup. Hope this works out for you guys, I also LOVE the stuff.
13interesting..
