Miso Soup with Potato, Onion, and Ham

Today’s Miso Soup is made with potato, onion, and ham. This miso soup is so easy to make with ingredients you already have in your refrigerator and pantry. Ham and onion give rich savory flavor to the soup, so you can just use a convenient instant dashi powder instead of making the Dashi from scratch.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 8 oz potatoes
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 slices Ham
  • 4 cups Dashi
  • 4 tbsp miso paste
Method · 15 min
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/4" width pieces. Slice the onion into 1/4" thick, and cut the ham into 1/4" strips.
  2. Make the Dashi broth according to the recipe (or use instant dashi powder) and bring to a boil. Add potato, onion, and ham, and simmer for 10 minutes covered.
  3. Remove from the heat and dissolve the miso paste.
