Cuisine: Japanese
Ingredients: 4 cups water; 2 tsp dashi granules; 3 tbsp miso paste; 8 oz silken tofu, diced; 2 green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces

A deeply savory umami-rich broth built on dashi stock, miso soup balances creamy silken tofu with bright green onion notes in just 15 minutes. The key is whisking miso paste into warm broth rather than boiling it, preserving those complex fermented flavors. Perfect as a quiet weeknight starter or comforting light meal any time.
