We always made miso soup with it but when I got to college, I met a woman who used it as a dip for vegetables! At first it was so weird, but I tried it and it's not bad. A tad too salty.marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778685315193285709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-18228802302504904222007-12-12T09:03:00.000-06:002007-12-12T09:03:00.000-06:00Nupur,what a beautiful write!

If it gets hard, you can soften it in warm water. As long as it's not moldy (can fermented food turn moldy!?) it's good -- that's what I've read in Japanese cookbooks. Your mushroom miso soup looks delish -- a perfect bedtime snack for a cold night like tonight :)<BR/><BR/>Also thanks for the link to Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855598397706857424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-32104200744398134882007-12-10T21:21:00.000-06:002007-12-10T21:21:00.000-06:00I used to believe that chicken soup cured all ailm...I used to believe that chicken soup cured all ailments, until I fell in love with miso soup.
