Japanese Miso Soup With Tofu, 日本人みそととふ

This is prepared white miso（みそ）, a pungent paste made from soya beans and yellow in colour.(There is also a saltier version, which is reddish-brown). Traditionally, miso soups use dashi(だし）, a stock made from kelp and dried fish flakes. 

1 litre dashi

225 g tofu,diced

2 tbsp white miso paste

2 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced

Reserve roughly 120 ml dashi and pour the rest into a pot. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and add tofu. Stir for 2-3 minutes. In a bowl, beat miso  with reserved dashi until smooth, then stir into soup. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until soup is thoroughly combined, then stir in most of the spring onions.  Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with remaining spring onions.
