A great miso soup is more than the sum of its parts. In this version, six simple ingredients play off one another to super-flavorful effect. Customize with the miso of your choice—yellow tends to be mild and earthy, while red offers a deeper umami hit. Feel free to toss in extras like baby spinach, cooked soba noodles, or steamed shrimp for an even heartier bowl.
