Ingredients

• 4 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Dashi granules
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 6 ounces Silken tofu
• 1 teaspoon Dried wakame seaweed
• 2 stalks Green onion

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of dashi granules to the hot water and stir until fully dissolved to create the dashi broth.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve 3 tablespoons of white miso paste with a ladleful of the hot dashi broth. Use a spoon or whisk to mix until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly return the dissolved miso mixture to the pot, stirring gently. Avoid letting the soup boil to preserve the flavor and probiotics in the miso.

Step 5

Cut 6 ounces of silken tofu into small 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the soup.

Step 6

Rinse 1 teaspoon of dried wakame seaweed under cold water to remove any excess salt, then add it to the pot. It will rehydrate and expand in the hot broth.

Step 7

Thinly slice 2 stalks of green onion and add them as a garnish just before serving.

Step 8

Ladle the miso soup into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy!
