Easy Miso Soup

Easy Miso Soup combines a light broth made with water, miso paste, and dashi powder, enriched with silken tofu, scallions, wakame seaweed, and beaten eggs. The gentle simmering technique preserves the delicate flavors while creating a comforting, savory soup with soft tofu and tender egg ribbons.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 4 tablespoons White miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon paste (we use Better Than Bouillon—if you use something else, be mindful of salt levels and adjust accordingly)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dashi powder (we use Ajinomoto Hon Dashi granules)
  • 12-16 ounces silken tofu (the exact amount doesn’t matter—basically 1 package of silken tofu; typically, shelf stable boxes are 12 ounces, and refrigerated boxes are 16 ounces)
  • 1 scallion
  • 3 egg
  • 3 tablespoons dried wakame seaweed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the water to a medium pot, cover, and set over high heat. Meanwhile, gather your ingredients. Add the miso paste, chicken bouillon paste, and Hondashi powder to the pot. Bring to a boil.
  2. While the broth cooks, cut your tofu into cubes. (½-inch/1cm cubes are a good place to start, but cut them however you like!)
  3. Give the broth a stir to make sure the miso is evenly distributed. Add the tofu, and simmer for another 5 minutes or so.
  4. While that’s happening, chop the scallions. (If you’re like us, and you have some already chopped and frozen, you can skip this step.) Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add the wakame seaweed.
  5. With the soup at a low simmer, pour in the egg in a circular pattern. Don’t stir the soup, and don’t let it come up to a high simmer/boil. Add the scallions, give everything a stir, and serve!
