Did you know how easy it is to make miso soup??? Specifically shittake mushroom miso soup. Because I didn't and it's honestly one of my favorite things hands down.
I've literally had it delivered to my house before because I love it so much (whenever Dan ordered Sushi) and now that I've made it myself I feel absolutely ridiculous for doing that. SO unnecessary. It barely takes 10 MINUTES to whip up and has just 6 ingredients. If you don't use mushrooms it's only 5!
I just...🤦🏼♀️.
Never getting it delivered again. There's no need! I'm still shocked at how simple and quick a restaurant quality miso soup is to make. You're going to love it!
I added mushrooms to my go to recipe just to oomph it up a little bit but they're totally optional. Also, you can switch out the traditional dashi broth with vegetable broth f0r a vegan option.
Check out the recipe below!

Do you make the dashi broth? Is it available in the Asian section of the food store?
Aberdeen says
I do not make it myself, just bought some in the Asian section at Central Market. You can also order it online!

Is the nori salty?
Aberdeen says
I find it does have a salty flavor.

Made this the other night to accompany some grilled tuna steaks. It was really good. I often alter recipes to suit our tastes but there was no need to alter this one. Simple and delicious!

Ooo grilled tuna steaks...going to have to tell my husband about this idea!
