☢ Decontamination Broth

Miso Soup • System Flush

Decontamination Broth

When the air tastes like ash and your gut feels like a war zone, this is the reset button. Fermented miso floods your system with beneficial bacteria while the hot broth rehydrates you after a long supply run. Five minutes, one pot, zero wasted fuel — and it will not spike your blood sugar. In the wasteland, that's a medical-grade asset.

⚗ Required Supplies:

🔧 Preparation Protocol:

STEP 1: Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat. If using the shiitake, add them now and simmer 2–3 minutes.
STEP 2: Turn off the heat. Stir in the concentrate until fully dissolved. Never boil the soup after this point — boiling kills the flavor (and the live cultures).
STEP 3: Add the tofu cubes and green onion. Let sit 1 minute so the tofu warms through.
STEP 4: Taste: too salty, add a splash of water; too mild, stir in a little more concentrate. Serve right away.

⚠ SURVIVAL NOTE: Nearly zero carbs, almost no calories — this broth hydrates and restores without touching your glucose. The sodium also helps if you've been sweating through a patrol. Survivors managing blood sugar: this is one of the safest things in the ration locker. As always, rations are no substitute for real medical personnel if you have a condition.
