Delicious! I couldn't find dashi granules but the miso paste I bought (right next to the tofu) had dashi stock in it. So I just boiled the water, added the 3T of miso paste and went from there. It's simple but fabulous! Thanks.

It tastes like the real thing. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because dashi granules, while convenient, are laden with salt.

I love miso soup but always wished that they gave larger size tofu pieces in the miso soups I've purchased in restaurants/stores. Now I can control the size of tofu I like in my miso soup, yay! Btw, I used firm tofu. I added spinach to my soup and it was yummy. Tasted just like the miso soup you get at restaurants. This really is a versatile recipe and I plan on trying different ingredients next time. My 3 yr old gobbled this up and left me with just a small bowl to bring to work the next day for lunch, lol! I will be doubling this recipe in the future! Thanks for the great recipe :)

Loved it I am in Esthetician school and my teacher had never had miso. So I used this recipe. It was yummy. I added shrimp, green onions, mushrooms, and shredded carrots

Very tasty and simple. Tried with white miso the first time and it was milder.

Absolutely delicious. I made it almost exactly from the recipe, but I doubled the quantity and added shitake mushrooms. We couldn't get enough of it. I made some onigiri to eat with it, to add a little bulk, and had a nice, light-but-satisfying meal. I will be making this alot (especially considering that the only package of dashi I could find was HUGE) Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.

I wasn't able to find dashi at any of my local grocery stores so I substituted chicken broth; I used a white miso and I also added thin rice noodles, shrimp, mushrooms, tofu sqares, and green onion. I really enjoyed the lightness of the soup and that it was also filling as a meal. I will make again. I only gave this 4 stars because I feel like the soup base was missing something and I'm pretty sure it was the dashi- so I'll be in search of it online to try again.

Great recipe. Use firm tofu it is easier to cut and will not fall apart as easily in the soup. I also added kelp which is typically found in other miso recipes.

This was so good, tastes like the Japanese restaurants to me (with more tofu, but at 99cents a package tofu is good). I found miso paste at the oriental market and the dashi at Ralphs, though it was labeled as hon dashi.

Very good taste, just like a sushi bar. Tad to much tofu, but that's just a personal preference. The dashi/miso paste combo is just right.

Super simple, fast, and delicious. I've made this many times now, and it never failed. I've made it as described and I've also tried it with baby bok choy and shiitake mushrooms to rave reviews either way. The only thing I do change though, is using extra firm tofu instead of silken tofu (the texture is just too mushy for my taste).

Excellent recipe. Very easy to make. I used 14 oz. pack of tofu instead of 8 oz. I love to have lots of tofu in my Miso soup. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I live in an area with lots of Japanese food restaurants and this matches the soup they serve perfectly. Defintely required some hunting around the grocery store, but well worth the time. Really delicious.

This is a great recipe. My mother's miso soup is not this good (don't tell her I said that!) and she has a complicated recipe using bonito to make dashi broth, etc. This was so easy, and tastes like miso soup from a Japanese restaurant. The fish stock granules can be found in most Asian markets, sometimes it is referred to as 'Hon Dashi'.
