Miso Soup with Tofu and Onion
Today’s miso soup is made with tofu, brown and green onions. Tofu is probably the most commonly used ingredients for miso soup. Tofu with wakame seaweed and/or green onion are served at many Japanese restaurants. We added sliced brown onion to a typical tofu miso soup in this recipe. Thinly sliced brown onion adds sweetness to the broth. If you are tired of a typical tofu miso soup, try adding brown onion for a change!
Instant dashi packet is used in this recipe, but you can certainly use any types of dashi. Please check Back to Basics: How to Make Dashi to learn more about different types of dashi.
