Miso Soup with Spinach and Potato

Miso soup in only 15 minutes! Fill your busy life with this easy Miso soup recipe. A quick and easy recipe that does not require a lot of ingredients. We all know the basic Miso soup is made with Miso (fermented soy bean paste), seaweed, tofu, green onion and Dashi. Dashi is a basic stock made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito flakes (fish). Preparing Dashi can be time-consuming. You can either omit it or use Miso that contains dashi. This type of Miso was introduced to me by a busy friend of mine. All you need to do is dissolve it in the soup. Taste good, convenient, save time and money. Ideal for busy people. I use Marukome Boy Awase Miso in this recipe. Marukome is no.1 Miso company in Japan. If you are bored of eating the same classic Miso soup with Tofu and Seaweed over and over again, try this. This soup is very easy to prepare. It is warm, savory and nutrient-rich. Please note that Miso varies in flavor and saltiness depending on type and brand. Adjust the amount of Miso according to your preference. The most important thing about making Miso soup is that you should never boil the Miso. Only add Miso after the heat has been turned off. Do not reheat the soup repeatedly. Miso soup is best to enjoy immediately after cooking. 2 potatoes weigh about 250 grams in this recipe.
