The best miso soup recipes
Miso soup is the everyday bowl that appears at Japanese breakfasts and dinners alike: dashi whisked with miso paste and dotted with tofu, wakame and spring onion. The craft is in the details, like never boiling the miso and balancing the type of paste against the strength of the dashi.

Common questions about miso soup
Why shouldn't you boil miso soup?
Boiling after adding miso dulls its aroma and can make the texture grainy. The paste is stirred in once the dashi is off a rolling boil, then the soup is served straight away.
What is the difference between white and red miso?
White (shiro) miso is fermented for less time and tastes mild and slightly sweet; red (aka) miso is aged longer and is saltier and deeper. Many cooks blend them, and the choice changes the soup's character.
What goes in miso soup?
Common additions are silken tofu, rehydrated wakame seaweed and thinly sliced spring onion, but vegetables, mushrooms and clams all work. It is a flexible base rather than a fixed recipe.
