Ingredients

  • 4 cups dashi (Japanese soup stock) (use standard Awase Dashi, dashi packet or powder, or Vegan Dashi)
  • 4.5 oz nameko mushrooms
  • 7 oz soft/silken tofu (kinugoshi dofu) (half block)
  • 2 Tbsp hatcho miso (it‘s made of soybeans and koji with a unique, bold flavor; feel free to skip if you don‘t have it)
  • 2 Tbsp miso (use 4 Tbsp if you don‘t use Hatcho miso)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gather all the ingredients.
  2. Add 4 cups dashi (Japanese soup stock) to a pot and bring it to a simmer on medium-low heat.
  3. Rinse 4.5 oz nameko mushrooms thoroughly but quickly under running water, and discard the ends.
  4. Cut 7 oz soft/silken tofu (kinugoshi dofu) into small cubes.
  5. Once the dashi is boiling, add the nameko and cook for 2–3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  6. For the best result, add 2 Tbsp hatcho miso and 2 Tbsp miso to the soup now, right before serving.
  7. Add the tofu and bring it to a simmer (not boiling). Turn off the heat and serve. Enjoy!
To Store
    Cup of Yum
  1. You can keep the leftover in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I do not recommend making miso soup ahead of time as miso will lose its flavors.
