I was introduced to was Cornellia’s Healing Miso Soup by way of the Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts, based here in Austin, Texas. Originally the school was called Macro Magic, which is where I took my first macrobiotic cooking classes taught by Elizabeth Ortiz. But of course this recipe came directly from Cornellia Aihara (wife and partner of Macrobiotic teacher and philosopher Herman Aihara) and the Vega Study Center. This famous couple founded the Vega Study Center and have helped thousands of people heal themselves through diet and lifestyle changes. They have both since passed away, so sadly the center no longer exists.
I am sure Cornellia would have wanted to share her healing recipe with as many people as possible. Enjoy!
NOTE: This is a more yan style miso soup and is made without any oil.
