Warm, savory, and light in the bowl, this soup builds its depth from a simmered dashi base rather than anything heavy or fussy. Silky cubes of firm tofu soak up all that umami flavor while gentle wakame folds in extra briny texture, and a flurry of fresh scallion greens finishes each bowl with color and bite. The white miso whisked in at the end gives the broth its signature rounded, savory sweetness without ever needing to boil — just a gentle stir until it dissolves smooth. It's quick enough for a weeknight starter yet comforting enough to sip on its own, and it's a reliable choice to keep on hand for a gluten free table. Every component here is simple, clean, and easy to portion out, so you get that familiar noodle-shop flavor right at home.

If using dried wakame, place it in a small bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 5 minutes until softened and expanded. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and roughly chop. Set aside.
Pour the dashi (or chicken broth) into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat — small bubbles should break the surface but the liquid should not be at a rolling boil.
