Japanese Comfort Food
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from dashi (bonito soup stock) and miso.
Typically, some other ingredients, such as tofu and green onion, are added to it.
Steamed rice and miso soup are classic, comforting paring in Japanese cuisine.
You can find instant miso soup at many grocery stores, but it is not too difficult to make home-made miso soup if you have dashi and miso.
