Further Food Commentary:

This soup is a nutrition powerhouse! The salmon provides heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, mushrooms are known for their healing properties, and miso is rich in vitamins, minerals, and probiotic cultures (in addition to the tofu). Best of all, miso soups tend to be low in calories, while still providing a ton of nutrients. This one boasts high protein, unsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins and minerals.
