A light and comforting Japanese clear soup packed with umami-rich flavors, perfect for chilly nights or moments of zen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups dashi stock (instant or homemade)
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • Pinch of salt
  • Water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dashi stock. If using instant dashi powder, follow the package instructions to make about 4 cups of stock. If making it from scratch, combine kombu seaweed and bonito flakes in 4 cups of water, heat gently, and strain once infused.
  2. Heat a medium-sized pot over medium heat and pour in the prepared dashi stock.
  3. Add the sliced carrots and let them simmer for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Add the sliced white mushrooms and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their flavor into the broth.
  5. Season the soup with soy sauce, mirin, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently and taste for balance, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  6. Add the chopped green onions just before serving to keep their flavor fresh and vibrant.
  7. Serve hot, ladling the soup into bowls with a mix of vegetables and broth.

Notes

[‘Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.’, ‘Avoid overcooking the vegetables to maintain their texture.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning gradually for balance.’, ‘The soup can be made ahead of time as the flavors deepen when it sits.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like tofu cubes, bok choy, or cooked noodles for variety.’]
