miso broth

Japanese soup base

Miso broth is a Japanese soup base made by dissolving miso paste—fermented soybean paste—in hot water or dashi stock.

It serves as the foundation for miso soup and appears in ramen and other dishes.

The broth is savory, slightly salty, and rich in umami: I started the meal with a bowl of miso broth.
