This miso soup with onion and wakame seaweed is easy to make and tasty, and is expected to relieve constipation!
Why miso soup with onion and wakame is effective for constipation.
Miso
It is a fermented food and contains plant-based lactic acid bacteria that regulate the intestinal environment. It contains melanoidin, which has an antioxidant effect.
Onion
Contains soluble dietary fiber and oligosaccharides (food for intestinal bacteria). The abundant sulfur compounds in onions provide an excellent antioxidant effect and counteract active oxygen.
Wakame seaweed
Wakame is a soluble dietary fiber that improves the intestinal environment and suppresses spikes in blood glucose levels after meals. It also increases good bacteria and regulates the intestinal environment.

By changing Hondasi to kombu broth, vegans can also eat it.
In my experience, it is even more effective when vegetables and mushrooms are added to the ingredients.
Recommended
Vegetarians and vegans should use "Kombu Dashi Powder kelp (Vegetarian Soup Stock)" instead of "hondashi". Changing Soup Stock to this will result in a menu with no animal products.
