Salmon Miso Soup
Once you have the broth -- my recipe for salmon stock is here -- this comes together quickly. You can also use a basic Japanese dashi instead.

Ingredients
- 2 quarts salmon stock or dashi (see headnotes)
- 1 pound soba noodles
- 1/2 pound cooked salmon scraps, or diced salmon
- 1/2 cup red or white miso
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Get your salmon stock or dashi warm in a pot. Cook your soba noodles according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set some in each person's bowl.
- Add some salmon to each bowl, along with some green onions.
- Mix the miso with the stock -- you can double the amount of miso if you'd like -- and pour into each person's bowl. Serve at once.

Notes
- I use meat scraps from making the salmon stock for this recipe, but you can use diced salmon if you want. Any type of salmon, trout or char is a good choice here, as is whitefish, sablefish or any of the jacks or small tuna.
- Since this soup is so simple, your ingredients will make or break it. Get soba from Japan, really good miso, and make the broth yourself and you will be amazed.
- As I mention above, I use red miso on cold days, white on warm ones. Red is stronger flavored. How much you use is variable. Use the amounts in my recipe as a guide, not dogma.
- Alternatives to green onions would be scallions, chives, chrysanthemum leaves, and shiso.
