I entered this recipe in a milk recipe contest.
Since the nutrients in maitake mushrooms are water soluble, I always use them in soups.

Miso varies in saltiness, so check the taste in the end, and adjust by adding more milk if the soup tastes too salty.
If you want to substitute satoimo with potatoes, use 2. Use 2 slices when using sliced bacon instead of a bacon block.
If you don't have a thick pan, you can just saute in a frying pan and then transfer to a pot at Step 4. For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by putimiko
