Miso soup is misoshiru (味噌汁) in Japanese and is a generic. Protein is found not only in miso paste, but also in seaweed and tofu, making miso soup a great source of vegan protein. Other health benefits of miso soup include high vitamin B, E and K content, as well as folic acid and essential minerals like copper, zinc and manganese. With a soothing and mild flavor, miso soup is light and "brothy," not the type of soup that is a meal on its own (though some people, myself included, enjoy it for breakfast), so serve your homemade miso soup as an appetizer before the main meal.
Steps to make Basic Miso Soup:
- Heat Dashi Stock (OR Water & Dashi Powder) in a large saucepan or a pot, add the ingredients of your choice (except Tofu) and cook them in the stock until soft. - *Note: Use about 2 teaspoons Dashi Powder for 4 cups Water OR according to the instruction on the package.
- *Note: If you wish to add Tofu to your Miso Soup, you don’t need to cook Tofu and Tofu can be easily broken. Add Tofu after you season the soup with Miso.
- Season the soup with Miso. - *Note: The important point to remember is that you should remove the soup from the heat when it’s just about to start boiling after adding Miso. If you boil it for too long, the wonderful aroma of Miso will be lost. That’s what I was taught.
- Sprinkle with finely chopped Spring Onions and serve.
