Miso-Ginger Consommé

This elegant miso-ginger consommé is a masterclass in clean, Japanese-inspired flavours.

The addition of earthy shiitake mushrooms provides a satisfying texture, making this light soup feel remarkably nourishing despite its clear, refined appearance.

As a versatile vegan starter or a light lunch, this heart-healthy dish is perfect for those seeking a restorative meal that requires minimal effort.
