Miso soup, or mososhiru as it's called in Japan, is a light soup with the rich flavor of traditional Asian ingredients. It's made with dashi broth and miso paste. You can pre-boil the dashi using combo seaweed and smoked tuna flakes (bonito) and store it in the refrigerator. When needed, reheat it, add miso paste, diced tofu, and green onions.
