Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup, usually made with a fish stock called ‘dashi’ and softened miso paste.

This simple soup is filling and satisfying due to its high protein content.



Ingredients:
Dashi (or broth) – Chicken stock or vegetable stock work as substitutes
Miso paste
Optional add-ins – You can add anything to your miso soup. Common add-ins are cubed silken tofu and seaweed, green onions, and sesame oil.

Method:
Bring dashi (or stock) to a boil in a pot.
Pour a small amount of hot stock into a cup or bowl and stir in miso paste until dissolved.
Then reduce heat and add the miso paste mixture. (IMPORTANT: Never let the mixture boil once the miso paste is added)
Stir in desired add-ins and serve.

That’s it!
