Elevate your basic miso soup by adding some salmon, your taste buds and heart will love you for it!

This soup has many health benefits. The kelp seaweed supports your thyroid and endocrine system, the miso paste supports your gut health with probiotics helping lower inflammation in the digestive system, and adding salmon supports the heart.

Salmon reduces risk of heart attack and stroke by reducing clotting due to its rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. It also (like all fish in general) is a great source of vitamin D & B boosting mood and energy.
