Recipe: Simple Homemade Miso Soup

The kids LOVE miso soup, especially Fumiko. I’ve been making it at home since Fumiko was tiny. Her first “solid” food was miso soup and rice and my favorite Japanese restaurant! She loves my recipe and asks me to make it constantly. So tonight was miso soup night. She was thrilled and ate 3 bowls of miso soup and rice. The kiddos love shiitake mushrooms so I usually put a lot in my miso soup. It’s a really simple recipe, but very tasty. There are different types of miso paste. I normally just use white/shiro miso paste, but occasionally I’ll mix either yellow/shinshu miso or red/aka miso with it. They all taste yummy! It’s after 3am. Woo no sleep again. For dinner tonight I’m going to roast up some sweet potato to add to the miso for dinner. You can put pretty much whatever you want in it.

Ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 1 cup bonito flakes
• 1 piece seaweed, konbu
• 8 tablespoons miso paste
• 12 shiitake mushrooms, sliced thin
• green onion, chopped
• cooked rice

Directions

1. To make the dashi stock put your water in a pot, put your konbu seaweed in the water and bring to a boil. I usually let it boil for a few minutes, then I turn it down to low and add the bonito flakes. I let that sit for about 20 minutes.
2. Get another container and strain the konbu seaweed and bonito flakes. Now you have dashi stock!
3. Pour the dashi stock back into the pot. Add your mushrooms and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
4. Turn the heat down to low and add your miso paste. Stir it up until it’s dissolved. I let it sit on low for about 20 minutes.
5. I serve this over rice with green onions sprinkled on top.

Tips

• You can also add tofu, squash, wakame seaweed or pretty much whatever else you want to this. I usually just do the shiitake mushrooms, but occasionally the kids like tofu or wakame seaweed added.
