Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring dashi broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Place miso paste in a small bowl. Add a ladleful of hot broth to the miso paste and whisk until miso is dissolved and smooth.
  3. Pour the dissolved miso paste back into the pot of simmering broth. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add tofu cubes to the soup. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes to heat the tofu through.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in thinly sliced green onions and nori strips (if using).
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Be cautious with adding extra salt as miso paste is already salty.
  7. Serve hot, optionally with a side of cooked rice. Enjoy this light and savory Japanese miso soup!
