Today’s miso soup is made with shrimp and green onions. Since head-on and shell-on shrimp is packed with umami, there is no additional dashi ingredients needed. You can actually make this miso soup with just the heads and shells (without meat) when you use the shrimp for another dish. All you need is miso paste and some chopped green onions. It’s so simple, but it’s incredibly flavorful!
