Miso Soup

Lily Coleman
This miso soup is full of savory flavors. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white, or red miso paste for this soup — yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

Recipe Tips

Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently sized jars or packets and vary in strength.
