Today’s miso soup is made with Daikon radish, cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Daikon’s crunchy texture, cherry tomato’s sweet and sour flavor, and arugula’s bitterness all come together in a deliciously savory miso soup.

We used a convenient Dashi packet to make fish broth here, but you can use any types of Dashi, such as Katsuobushi Dashi. Please check Back to Basics: How to Make Dashi to learn more about different types of Dashi.
