A Good Hot Bowl Of Miso Soup

It is a cold, wet, windy, and dreary day here in the Chicagoland area. And since I don't feel like having a regular lunch, I opted for a nice steaming bowl of miso soup filled with napa cabbage, wakame (seaweed), tofu, and green onions.

It was just the perfect meal, light but filling. I would have used kombu to make the dashi (stock), but I didn't have time. So instead, I used a powdered kombu/soup seasonings that I added to the boiling water before I added a tablespoon of miso paste.

Now my tummy is quite satisfied, and I feel all warm inside. This soup has always been satisfying on a cold day like this.
