Simple miso soup

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 300 ml water
• 1 tsp dashi, alternatively broth
• 1 ½ tbsp miso paste, light
• 3 small carrots
• 1 m.-sized potato(s)
• 1 bunch of spring onions

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

quickly as a complement to the main course

Bring the water to a boil in a pot and stir in the dashi powder. Then put the miso paste into a tablespoon and use a whisk to scoop out a little bit at a time and add it to the soup. Add it a little at a time, otherwise the miso will clump. Stir well after each piece of miso. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the 3 small carrots and the potato. Chop both into very fine pieces and cook in the soup over low heat. Once the carrot and potato are cooked in the soup, divide the soup between plates or bowls and sprinkle small pieces of spring onion over the soup. It’s a good starter or as an accompaniment to a typical Japanese dish. If you like, add tofu or ramen.
