Miso Soup with Mushrooms

When I used to live in the U.S. and didn't have access to Japanese mushrooms like shimeji and shiitake, I used mushrooms instead in miso soup. It's actually pretty tasty! Since then it's become one of my favorite dishes to make.
Place the mushrooms in cold water (don't start boiling them with hot water) and simmer them very gently to extract their umami. If you are in a hurry, add a little dashi stock. Don't add too much miso since it will overwhelm the flavor of the mushrooms. Use plenty of mushrooms for the best result. For 3 servings. Recipe by Crepemeter
