I tried Whole Foods for the astragalus. Mustard Seed is a ways away from us, and I'd forgotten that there was a food coop in University Circle--I wouldn't be surprised if both of those places had it. Based on making a tea from astragalus capsules, I'd say its flavor is a mild combination of ginger and ginseng--it's very earthy. I've also heard its anti-bacterial properties are better supported than those of echinacea (although still not certain).<br/><br/>Also, in retrospect, I probably should have added the cayenne (or, even better, chili oil) at the end. The overwhelming flavor at first was probaby from cooking the cayenne for so long.<br/><br/>Thanks for reading our blog, and I hope you enjoy the soup!<br/><br/>-Ben We used red miso (the full name is “Westbrae organic mellow red miso”).

I am curious about a couple things--what kind of miso? and did you try the food coop in university circle or mustard seed for the astralgus root? what sort of flavor does it add?
