This is my version of my favorite simple soup. I’ve tried many combinations, and I haven’t found anything better than this so far. Miso, Dashi Stock, and Wakame are found in any Asian food store. If you want a darker taste, I happen to like using 3 tbl. of light miso, and 1 tbl. of dark/barley miso (to make up the 4 tbl of miso). It’s close but enough to notice a difference.
Ready in: 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 4 cups water
• 2 teaspoons Dashi Stock
• Tofu, about 20 small 1/4 – 1/2in. cubes (I don’t like a lot, that’s up to you)
• 1 mushroom sliced (use 2 if u want more)
• 1 teaspoon of Wakame (dried seaweed)
• 4 tablespoons Miso (light/soybean miso)
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce (I highly suggest Tamari brand for its rich flavor)
• 1 green onion chopped
