Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and mushrooms and sauté 3 minutes. Add ginger and sauté 2 minutes more, until onions and mushrooms are soft.
  2. Add water, bring to a boil, and add the bouillon cube. Simmer 5 minutes, or until dissolved. Remove a ladleful of broth to a small bowl.
  3. Dissolve the miso in the small bowl of broth. Add the miso mixture back into the soup pot, along with the tofu and arame or hijiki. Simmer 5 more minutes, being careful not to boil the liquid.
  4. Sprinkle scallions over the top before serving.
Recipe Notes

For a more delicate flavor, use a lighter-colored miso (like white miso). Because miso is salty, add it a little at a time, tasting as you go.
