Here in Japan, I make miso soup every morning. The family favorite is potatoes, onions, tofu and wakame (sea vegetable). I've been known to put carrots, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, bok choy, sweet potatoes. Really the sky is the limit. It's great stuff, make a fusion miso with your locals. - 12/14/11

Great recipe! Any miso paste will do. Light coloured miso is sweeter and lighter tasting than the dark red miso. Look for miso without MSG - preferably organic. - 7/25/11

I didn't make this exactly as written as I used some beef stock to flavor my soup (wanted to use dashi but didn't have any on hand but I think it's a great base recipe for any miso soup. If you really like miso flavor, err on the side of adding more. - 3/6/12

The longer the tofu stays in the soup, the tastier it gets (tofu has a very light taste so it could use all the help it can get). And yes, you can keep this soup for several days. Just don't boil it. We always use dashi (fish stock, comes dried in powder form) as the soup base. More flavor that way. - 12/20/11

Can this be put in 4 bowls and saved for next day? My husband would never eat this -so there is just me eating it. Any suggestions? - 9/30/11

Since miso contains live spores, be sure to add the miso after the water has cooled at least a little or you will kill them. I prefer red or brown organic miso for flavor and I add a little (about 1/2 & 1/2) of the sweet white miso to cut it with one that has less sodium. I don't eat tofu or any soy - 9/30/11

had to leave out the mushrooms and use normal vegi stock rather than miso due to candida, but still was very tasty. - 9/1/11

My favorite breakfast was taught to me by a Japanese friend. Add an egg to the boiling water until just set then add miso powder. It's like a poached egg in miso and is a fast easy high protein breakfast -no hunger pains when in a rush! - 7/31/11
