I was hoping this would be like the Japanese restaurants I've had, but I think it was missing the dashi. I couldn't find any without msg, but I think that is the key ingredient. I tried adding soy sauce but it wasn't the same.

This was alright, but you really need dashi stock for miso soup. I was planning on making some dashi for my miso soup, but I didn't have enough time, and since this recipe didn't need dashi stock, I thought it would be fine... but it really did not taste like real miso soup.

Tastes just like in the restaurant and very calorie-wise! I used way more tofu and also through in a big handful of torn up spinach leaves along with the nori for some extra "green power"!

I just love quick and easy recipes like this. I used way too much tofu in mine (I uploaded the picture), and just added a little msg and green onion. Turned out great.

Great soup! Simple, quick and tasty! My whole family (including 2 toddlers) really liked it! I did not have tofu on hand so I just omitted it. I added 2 chopped green onions as well and some soy sauce (approximately 2 tsps). Thanks for a quick fix!
