Miso Soup

Miso soup is one of those dishes that most people think about as an afterthought. The starter for your $8.95 lunch bento box at your local strip mall sushi joint that is owned by a lovely Chinese couple. Something to slurp down before you get to your Teriyaki Chicken, California Roll, and that weird salad they always include in those things. Now most of you have probably never tasted real miso soup. The miso soup at that strip mall is probably a pre-made mix that you just add water to. A real miso soup is satisfying mixture of miso and dashi that warms the heart and the belly. It is extremely easy to make. So easy in fact that my five year old daughter is going to demonstrate for you how to make miso soup. I utilize instant dashi in this recipe instead of crafting my own dashi broth (which isn't that easy). If you want to take this recipe to the next level make your own dashi broth, add clams, kombu(seaweed), or shiitake mushrooms.
