Miso soup

Miso soup (味噌汁 or お味噌汁, miso-shiru or omiso-shiru, お-/o- being honorific) is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of miso paste mixed with a dashi stock. It is commonly served as part of an ichijū-sansai (一汁三菜) meal, meaning "one soup, three dishes," a traditional Japanese meal structure that includes rice, soup, and side dishes. Optional ingredients based on region and season may be added, such as wakame, tofu, negi, abura-age, mushrooms, etc. Along with suimono (clear soups), miso soup is considered to be one of the two basic soup types of Japanese cuisine. It is a representative of soup dishes served with rice.

Miso soup is also called omiotsuke (御御御付) in some parts of Japan, especially around Tokyo.
