Four mushroom miso soup is an easy Japanese soup recipe that builds deep umami flavor from a mix of tender mushrooms and savory miso broth. This version can use mushrooms such as shiitake, shimeji, enoki, maitake, or button mushrooms, giving the bowl a layered mix of earthy aroma, soft texture, and light chew. A simple base of dashi, miso paste, tofu, wakame, and green onion supports the mushrooms without overpowering their natural flavor. As the mushrooms simmer gently, they release depth into the broth, while the miso is added near the end to keep the soup smooth, fragrant, and balanced. The final bowl is warm, light, and satisfying, making it a practical side dish or quick meal for mushroom lovers who want a clean Japanese flavor with extra savory richness.

00:00This mushroom miso soup is a great way to make the most of 4 produce and contains 4
00:05different kinds of mushrooms. It's delicious, super easy to make and perfect for mushroom fans.
00:16Start by heating 1 litre of dashi over medium heat.
00:23I recommend using homemade dashi and I have a recipe on my channel if you want to know how.
00:28If you want to save time, the dashi packets that use teep in hot water are the next best alternative.
00:35Once it's almost boiling, pour in a quarter teaspoon of soy sauce and reduce the heat to a simmer.
00:42Now let's add our mushrooms. I'm using 75g of thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms,
00:48a 100g bunch of enoki mushrooms, 100g of shimeji mushrooms and 50g of nameko mushrooms.
00:56These are all common mushrooms in Japan but of course you can substitute them for your
01:01favourite local edible mushrooms. Some ideas include maitake, oyster mushrooms,
01:06thinly sliced portobello mushrooms or even butter mushrooms.
01:11Let those simmer for about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your mushrooms and how you cut them.
01:18The good thing about mushrooms is that they cook pretty fast, so they're perfect for whipping up
01:23a quick miso soup. Once the mushrooms are warmed through and cooked to your liking,
01:29turn off the heat and add 4 tablespoons of miso paste using the miso strainer.
01:33If you don't have one, a mesh spoon or ladle also works and if you don't have those,
01:39then place your miso paste in a small bowl and loosen it with a few tablespoons of dashi
01:44before you add it to the rest of the soup. All of these tips ensure the miso is evenly
01:50dispersed into the soup without any lumps. I use awase miso which is mixed miso.
01:55Pour it in two serving bowls and topped with a sprinkle of green onions for a burst of freshness
02:09to balance out the earthiness. It's so good and one of my favourite kinds of miso soup.
