I miss the Vegetable Garden. It was just around the corner from my office, and I absolutely loved their miso soup. Is there another place nearby that has great miso soup? I truly miss it.

Just add hot water to out of the box miso paste. A few cubes of tofu is you want to be fancy.

I know what goes into miso soup, I just can't get it right myself. As indicated in the OP, I was hoping to find a place near work where I can go to order it.

NP here. What can't you get right, OP?

I've been making miso for 15 years or so...I can help you troubleshoot.

I don't really want to make it, I want to sit down in a restaurant and enjoy it!

Just miso paste and water does not miso soup make. Start with hon-dashi, or dry shaved bonito flakes to create the base stock. You can also add some kombu for the umami flavor. Press the miso paste through a fine strainer to ensure it mixes well. You can add things like tofu, minced green onions, thinly sliced white onions, wakame, clams, etc to taste/preference.

If you want it in a restaurant, did you think to try a Japanese restaurant?
