Miso Soup with Kabocha and Shimeji Mushroom
Today’s miso soup is with kabocha squash and shimeji mushroom. Kabocha is naturally sweet, and it tastes wonderful when it’s cooked in savory Dashi broth. Cut in thin bite size pieces for the soup, and it takes much less time than making a simmered kabocha dish (kabocha no nimono).
