Here is a variation on the theme, replacing pasta with potato. Both recipes provide a high protein meatless meal, low in fat. <br /> <br /> These proportions are for one person, and can be adjusted to taste. <br /> <br /> The tofu and miso can be found at upscale grocers, health food stores, Asian food stores. <br /> <br /> Take potato that is about the size of a medium adult fist. <br /> Scrub, then place on a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut lengthwise into four pieces, then crosswise into thin slices. Place in a pot with two cups of water and bring to a low boil. Plan on about 15 minutes for fork tenderness. <br /> <br /> Add to pot anywhere from 1/4 to full tablespoon full of diced garlic, either fresh or dried, as is convenient. <br /> Or prepare some diced fresh onion. <br /> <br /> Add to pot some green herbs, such as pre mixed Italian seasoning. 1/2 to full tablespoon works for me. Also add some fresh ground black pepper to taste. I find that pre ground black pepper has no taste. <br /> <br /> In stead of meat, prepare two to four tablespoons of firm tofu, mashed with a fork. <br /> <br /> In a small bowl or the measuring cup, place about a half cup of water. To this, add a rounded tablespoon of miso paste. With a fork, whip the miso until it is fairly well dispersed. Now add two fresh eggs and continue whipping. <br /> <br /> When the potatoes are tender but not real mushy, add the miso and egg mix to the pot, and stir in. Turn off heat. Let pot stand a minute or so, then remove from stove. Cooling can be helped with one or two ice cubes stirred in, or 3 to 5 minutes placement in refrigerator. <br /> <br /> If the miso has not added enough salt for your taste, add a small amount of salt. Personally, I almost never add salt while cooking, as most prepared foods have salt added, such as miso. <br /> <br /> These quantities were determined by trial and error. Vary to suit your own tastes. <br /> <br /> This soup is a meal in itself, or divide and use as a side dish. <br /> <br /> Bon appetit! <br /> _____________________________________<br /> ** Diet with FACTS, not MYTHS. ** <br /> <br /> Dr. Donald A.
