A Restoring Ginger, Cabbage & Miso Broth

Winter seems to be dragging endlessly, with no end in sight. It’s still dark by 5pm and that’s all rather boring by now. So I wanted to create something simple and perfect for this time of year. This is a broth yes, but not in the traditional sense; more of a broth-meets-ramen idea, with seasonal cabbage taking the place of noodles. One of my goals in 2016 is to try and use more seasonal fruit and veg, and this restoring & comforting broth is perfect to enjoy on a cold winters day. I used sweetheart cabbage, but feel free to use savoy cabbage or whatever you fancy and bulk it out with rice noodles too if you’re so inclined. Treat this recipe as a starting point, and make it your own!
