  1. In a medium-sized pot, pour in 4 cups of dashi broth and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Once the broth is simmering, introduce the sliced shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrot, and thinly sliced onion into the pot. Allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, letting the flavors meld together for another 2-3 minutes.

Notes

To create the perfect soup, don't overcook the vegetables; they should remain tender but vibrant. You can add a pinch of ginger or garlic for an extra depth of flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and reheat on low heat.
