In a small saucepan, place 3 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add one teaspoon of Hon-dashi, which you can purchase at an Asian market, and stir well.
Get out your small stainless steel strainer and place in it one tablespoon of miso paste...red, yellow, or white. I have tried the sweet white (though I don't know why it is called 'sweet') and the red, and like both of them.
Remove the boiling water and Hon-dashi from the stove and stir the miso paste through the strainer into the Hon-dashi water. When the miso has dissolved in the water mixture, pour it into a mug and top with any amount of finely sliced green onions/scallions, and drink up when it is cool enough.
If you like seaweed, you can add some seaweed to the boiling water until it re-hydrates. For myself, since the first time I made it, I overdid the seaweed, and have since not used it at all. I will probably go back to it, but will break it up much more and will only put a tiny bit of it in the soup.
Filling and delicious soup. It has helped me drop my weight, which is a very very good thing!

| Red miso paste and Hon-Dashi are the main ingredients with water. |

| Sliced scallions add a lot to the soup. Try not to think it looks like dishwater. That will put you off this delicious soup. |
