Chicken and Vegetable Miso Soup

Spring has arrived and I love this time of the year. It has been a great and productive two weeks off from work. I feel like I have accomplished a lot and feel happy and blessed with all the things that are happening in my life. I am grateful for my family, friends and a job that I like. These past two weeks I was also able to spend some time on my blog. I was able to try some new recipes, most of which I had success with and will gladly be sharing with you guys. One of those is this chicken soup that has an Asian twist to it. It consists of fresh shitake mushrooms and baby bok choy and is flavored with white miso. It also uses rotisserie chicken meat, my favorite meat to use in soups and salads. I find it not only convenient to use but tasty as well. My family and I enjoyed this comforting soup on a rainy spring day. Enjoy!
