MISO SOUP
The simplicity of miso soup belies its significance to Japanese cuisine, where it is a common course for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is ubiquitous on Japanese restaurant menus here in the United States, but miso soup is so uncomplicated to prepare that any home cook can make it. This recipe appears in our cookbook Martha Stewart's Cooking School.

Steps:
- Pour 1/2 cup dashi into a small bowl and set aside.
- Bring 3 1/2 cups dashi to a simmer in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add tofu and simmer 2 minutes, just to heat through.
- Stir miso into the reserved dashi with a flexible spatula until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pan and cook just until soup is hot (do not boil or miso will lose much of its flavor). Serve immediately. If desired, garnish with wakame and scallions.

Steps:
- Wrap the block of tofu in 2 layers of paper towels and lay on a plate. Invert a second plate on top of the tofu and weigh down with a 28-ounce can. Leave for 20 minutes then cut the tofu into 1/4 to 1/2-inch cubes.
- Heat the dashi in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When the dashi reaches 100 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, ladle 1 cup into a small bowl. Add the miso, and whisk until smooth.
- Bring the remaining dashi to a bare simmer, approximately 10 minutes. Add the miso mixture and whisk to combine. Return to a slight simmer, being careful not to boil the mixture. Add the tofu and scallions and cook for another minute or until heated through. Remove from the heat, ladle into soup bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put the water in a large saucepan. Add 3/4 of the scallions, reserving the rest. Add the mushrooms, ginger and carrot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Strain the broth through a fine sieve. Remove the mushrooms from the sieve and reserve. Discard the remaining vegetables. Return the broth to the saucepan over low heat. Thinly slice the mushrooms and add them to the broth along with the remaining scallions. Stir in the miso thoroughly, never allowing the mixture to boil. Stir in the tofu. Serve warm.
MISO SOUP
Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently-sized jars or packets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.
