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?


Of course, suggest one with great miso soup, please!

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!

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.

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.
