Edward and Son's Miso-Cup

Review by Erin Pavlina

Most mornings Steve sits down to breakfast with a bowl of oatmeal, two slices of toast, and a bowl of miso soup from Edward and Sons. Why does my husband eat soup for breakfast? Well, a couple of years ago we were eating fruit for breakfast every day and then some friends suggested we try going macrobiotic. There was seaweed everywhere for a while. We eventually stopped being macrobiotic, but Steve really liked his miso soup with seaweed. So he still enjoys a bowl for breakfast.

My toddler also loves miso soup with seaweed or tofu. Who knew? While I personally don't eat the miso soup that often (okay, never) I can tell you that my toddler will launch herself out of her high chair when she sees Daddy's miso soup. One time we overcooked the miso soup on the stove and it boiled down to a thick gravy! I happened to have some leftover mashed potatoes so we put the miso gravy on the potatoes and my toddler ate the whole thing in practically one swallow.

Miso-Cup is organic, high in minerals, and it's good for you. It's low in calories too. If you're at all interested in miso soups, this is the one for you. It couldn't be easier to make. And who knows, maybe your toddler will love it too...
