Chicken Miso Soup - 132 cal

Chicken Miso Soup

25 minutes 
2 Servings
132 calories per serving

Ingredients:

2 x 15g Japanese miso paste sachets

1 chicken breast, skinned and sliced

1 clove garlic, crushed

½ tsp grated ginger

8 shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Dash of soy sauce

¼ Savoy cabbage, finely shredded

Directions:

Pour 600ml (1 pint) boiling water into a large saucepan and whisk in the miso paste.

Add the rest of the ingredients, except the cabbage, and simmer for 10 mins.

Stir in the cabbage, cook for 3 mins and serve.

Notes:

Single serve miso paste sachets are available at brand name supermarkets these days. You could also potentially used the dried powdered miso soup variety, just take care to compare the calories per sachet to the paste and adjust the total calories accordingly. I also found I needed to add a little more water than directed and that the single sachet of dried miso soup was not flavoursome enough, so I ended up using two sachets.
If you have to buy more than 8 Shiitake mushrooms in a pack and feel as though you would waste the remainder, why not consider using dried Shiitake mushrooms instead? They require only a little longer while cooking so that they rehydrate. I recommend throwing them for a little while before the other ingredients so they get a headstart, soak up a bit of the flavour and also so the others do not overcook.
Another thing to remember is because this is in the low 100's, you could possibly pair it with a less than 100 cal item to make up the 200 cal.
