I've tried making miso soup at home, but it's never really similar to the soup I love at the restaurant. If I want it to be similar should I be using a certain kind of miso? Thanks!
Answer:
The most common dashi soup stocks for miso soup are made of niboshi (dried baby sardines) or kelp (konbu) with thin shavings of katsuobushi (dried and smoked skipjack tuna).
There are many types of miso from different regions in Japan. The color can be darker or lighter, and the taste can be sweeter or saltier. The most common kinds of miso are shiro (white) miso and aka (red) miso. The white varieties aren't really white, but are light yellow and have a sweet taste. The red varieties are dark brown and are salty. Shinsyu miso, which is light brown, is also commonly used. Mixed miso called awase miso is popularly sold in supermakets.
Most of the time the restaurants are using white or Shiro miso. Red or white can be used in Miso soup. The red as previously mentioned is more robust tasting and maybe slightly saltier. The secret to miso is the stock. Decent miso can be made with just stock and miso. The rest makes it better but they are not absolutely necessary. You did not mention that you are following a receipe or if you have an asian market available to you. The easiest way to make stock is to buy instant "dashi" (soup stock). Japanese dashi is made from bonita (its a fish). If you go to an asian market there are several brands to chose from. Start with one packet per cup then mix in the miso. Heat but do not boil. Just let it melt. Mix in amount by taste. You can add soy sauce for body and the rest. Miso receipes are online if you need them. Good luck.
There are different kinds of miso such as white miso, red miso,mixed miso and etc. I really don't know what kind of miso is used at the Japanese restaurant that you go to. But I like both white and red miso. I use white miso when I put silken tofu and spinach in my miso soup and use red miso when I put silken tofu, seaweed and green onions in my miso soup.
Anyways, you can actually try two different kinds of miso if you like. White miso is sweeter and red miso has depth in flavor usually. And my parents and relatives usually like miso called " Inaka miso" meaning " country style miso" that is usally made from scratch and is organic and tastes really good.
Well, if you want to make miso soup, you need to get dashi. The easiest way to make dashi is to get dashi powder and add the powder to boiling water. I have seen dashi powder at the Safeway in the city I live. But I don't know if you can find it at the safeway in your city. But definitely you can find that in a Japanese food store if there is one in your city. Or if there is an asian food store in your city, try to go find that in the store. The powder is called " Hondashi" which looks like this:

or

I usually add 1/2 teaspoon of dashi powder to 1 cup of boiling water. And after the powder gets dissolved, I add about one tablespoon of miso.
Miso soup is very easy to make if you have right stuff. I remember my roommate who wanted to make miso soup used chicken stock because some American recipes say to use chicken stock. I think some Americans don't like fish so probably instead of using botino soup which is the soup that has dashi powder in, they prefer to use chicken stock. But usually Japanese people don't use chicken stock for miso soup. It's just wrong.
Anyway, I found a website that sells decent miso or miso paste. So if you can't find miso paste in your city, you can buy miso from the website:
