Nutritional Tips
Miso soup is not the only soup that Japanese people consume. I must admit that Japanese people do tend to have miso soup every day. Some may even have it more than once a day (breakfast and dinner). However, we consume different soups, including this yam & egg soup. You may not think of adding yams to the soup, but it actually goes really well. This is also good when you are ill: instead of having a heavy cream soup, this helps to get something into your stomach.
