Miso soup

味噌汁 misoshiru

Miso paste is made from soybeans. The soup almost never is just miso.

Miso soup is made on a dashi base, usually bonito or sardine, in shops and homes alike.
Supermarket miso is often sold with dashi already mixed in: the pack says だし入り.
Set meals, ryokan breakfasts and instant cups include it by default.

Say it
