For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of different miso pastes, such as white and red.
If you don't have fresh shiitake mushrooms, dried shiitakes can be used. Rehydrate them in warm water for 30 minutes before slicing and adding to the soup. Remember to save the soaking liquid and add it to the broth for extra umami.
Feel free to add other ingredients to customize your soup, such as wakame seaweed, enoki mushrooms, or a poached egg.
