i'm really excited about this one! homemade miso soup!! i love miso soup and i've always wanted to try making it at home. i had thought i would have to place an order online for the ingredients. turns out i found everything i needed right down the street at cape cod natural foods. how i had never seen these things there before, i do not know. but there they were::
this is the easiest soup you will ever make. for real. it's more like steeping tea than making soup. the dashi takes about 15 minutes tops. i admit i was uncertain at first, especially after opening up the ingredients. the bonito flakes have a strong smokey scent and i wasn't convinced. until i stirred in the miso. then i started shouting over-excitedly. kids were frightened. bigger kids may have been embarrassed. big b rolled his eyes, etc. but it smelled like miso soup! and it looked like miso soup! and most importantly, it tasted like some really great miso soup!!
want to try it too? all you need are bonito flakes, kombu, wakame, miso, silken tofu and some scallions. click here for an excellent video tutorial.
