I’m trying to invent my own miso soup. The first attempt I didn’t have any dashi (Japanese soup stock) but I had miso (a paste made from soy and seaweed) I needed to use a ton of miso and the flavor just wasn’t there. So I ordered dashi from Amazon but the order never came. Got refund and reordered from a different seller. When the dashi finally, finally got here I realized it wasn’t vegetarian and what’s worse is the second ingredient was MSG. So into the trash it went and I tried veggie stock with miso. Still not the right flavor. I reordered.
I finally received my vegetarian, MSG free dashi and have all the veggies so tonight we’re having my final attempt at this recipe. I pray the dashi is worth all the trouble and it turns out good. If it does we’ll be having homemade miso soup for one our dishes for Christmas. We’re having an international vegetarian Christmas and I needed something to represent Japan.
