味噌汁 (miso soup) is a traditional Japanese soup made from a base of dashi, a broth typically made from kombu (seaweed) and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes). The main ingredient, miso, is a fermented soybean paste that adds a rich, savory flavor. Miso soup often includes various ingredients such as tofu, seaweed, and seasonal vegetables, making it a versatile dish. This soup is commonly served as part of a Japanese meal, often accompanying rice and other side dishes. It is not only enjoyed for its taste but also for its nutritional benefits, as it is rich in protein and probiotics. Miso soup is a staple in Japanese cuisine and is enjoyed by many around the world.
