oops! Sorry wasn't reading.

I hope one came in but if not, a basic miso soup is very easy even from
scratch.

Authentic from 'scratch'
- 1/2 cup dashi (a fish broth, sold in powder is easy 'Hon-Dashi')
- 1/8 ts to 1/2 ts miso paste

(to make Dashi from scratch you combine dried seaweed and dried
cuttlefish and simmer. The seaweed and cuttlefish are normally saved
for up to 3 uses making lighter and lighter versions)

Not authentic but works very well
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/8 ts to 1/2 ts miso paste

It is rare to see a miso soup quite that bare. Normally chives or green
onions are added for 'pretty' and small cubes of tofu at the minimum.

This is the base for most udon (pasta) soups (minimal pasta is used and
linguini noodle will work fine for udon).

Miso soups are also sold in 'just add water' packets and they are fine,
especially if miso paste is hard to get where you are.

Thanks, Carol I have jars of Miso paste an was looking for Dashi. We
have managed to order some on line.
