Spicy Ginger Miso Soup
/I've been on a soup kick this last week. Partially because my hubs is out of town in China and I haven't felt like cooking big meals and also because it's colder here and the days are laced with fog and rain. I need something to warm me to my core and the ingredients in this soup I came up with do just that.I'm always so inspired by Asian foods. The flavors are so bold and I love that. And I never turn down a super spicy meal. The hotter the better!
This soup will warm you inside and out and has awesome healthy benefits that will keep you feeling charged full of energy. This would also be a great soup to make if you happen to fall ill with a cold or flu. It's a multifaceted soup!

Instructions
- Begin by sauteing onion, carrot and mushrooms in the coconut oil for about 3-4 minutes. Add in mung bean sprouts and garlic and saute for another 1-2 minutes stirring constantly so garlic doesn't burn. Add in ginger and continue stirring.
