Notes
* Traditional miso soup uses dashi stock, which is generally made from a combination of kombu (kelp) and bonito flakes, along with a few other ingredients. If you would like to try making your own batch of dashi stock, you can find a delicious, homemade dashi recipe from our friend’s website at Just One Cookbook.
