INGREDIENTS
- Millet and brown rice Ramen noodles (Lotus foods).
- 1 cup stock/broth (can use veggie broth or a meat broth if you’re not vegetarian)

DESCRIPTION
In traditional Asian medicine, a bowl of this soup is used for breakfast or lunch. It provides a gentle introduction to food after the fast following dinner. The brown rice millet noodles are gluten free, reducing inflammation and are easy to digest. The use of chicken, beef, pork, vegetable and mushroom broths provide nutrients that the microbiome can build immunity and health with. The egg provides protein, healthy fat and the important nutrient, choline. The green onion provides flavor and elements used to improve digestion and overall health. A dash of gluten free Tamari sauce supports the Umami flavor and reduces cancer risk with targeted polysaccharides and nutrients.
