Carrot Miso Soup

Ingredients:
Carrot 1
Miso (soybean) paste 1-1.5 Tbsp
Water 2.5 cups
* If the miso doesn't contain dashi (broth from shaved dried bonito, small sardines, or kelp), you can buy powdered "Hon dashi" or make your own broth. You can have it without dashi if you don't like seafood.
* You can use other vegetables such as Daikon (long white radish), onions, and potatoes.
Directions:
*Shred a carrot (r you can buy shredded carrots)
*Add water, powdered dashi, and carrot in a pot and boil. Turn down to medium low heat and cook the carrot for 12-13 minutes or until soft.
*Turn off the stove, pour miso into a small strainer and use a spoon to melt it in the soup. Enjoy!
