    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
