Garnish and Serve: Ladle the miso soup into bowls and garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of different miso pastes (e.g., shiro and aka).
Adjust the amount of miso to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
Do not boil the miso soup after adding the miso paste, as this can affect the flavor and nutritional value.
If you can't find dashi kombu, you can substitute with vegetable broth, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Experiment with adding other ingredients such as enoki mushrooms, spinach, or aburaage (fried tofu).
