Miso Soup
Miso Soup combines miso paste, tofu cubes, and sliced mushrooms in a simmered broth made from water or stock, finished with thinly sliced scallions. This traditional Japanese soup balances the savory, umami flavors of miso with the soft texture of tofu and the earthiness of mushrooms. It's a comforting starter or light meal with a delicate broth and tender ingredients.
