To turn the dashi into miso soup, whisk miso paste through a fine mesh sieve to prevent clumps. Add thinly sliced scallion and kombu.

Step 1
To a pot, add cold water, along with sheets of kombu. Heat over medium, and just as the water begins to simmer, remove the kombu. Add bonito flakes, and simmer over medium for 8 minutes, turn off the heat, and let steep for another 8 minutes. Finally, filter through a fine-mesh sieve.
