This is authentic miso soup, super healthy, nutritious, and my most favorite soup for lunch. You only need to do a few things, and there's one rule that matters: don't boil it once the miso is in.

Ingredients

  • 200 ml dashi, homemade or prepackaged
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • a few cubes tofu (silken is best; medium-firm works too)
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 strip dried nori (seaweed), torn up

Method

  1. 1

    Cut up the tofu, finely chop the green onion and tear up a strip of dried nori.

  2. 2

    Bring the dashi to a boil, then turn off the heat.

  3. 3

    Break down the miso paste into the dashi. Do not boil the mixture once the miso is in, it loses its nutrients at boiling temperature.

  4. 4

    Serve in a bowl and add the tofu, green onion and nori. Look at these lovely clouds.
