Step 1

See the section above for making kombu dashi. It’s not necessary, but it will add a lot of flavor and nutrients to this soup.

Step 2

Bring the water (or broth) to a boil. Add in the tofu and dried wakame and turn off the heat. Allow the soup to cool slightly while you mix the miso paste.

Step 3

To add the miso paste to the soup, remove 1 cup of broth from the pot. Mix in the miso paste into the cup of broth until it’s fully dissolved.

Step 4

Stir the miso into the cooling soup. Garnish with spring onions and serve!
