Eggs Mushrooms Lunch / Dinner Soups

Mushroom miso egg drop soup

Published: 12.21.2021 ยป Last updated: 09.25.2022

A recipe that combines two favorites. Scallions and white shimeji mushrooms are sauteed in sesame seed oil, dashi and miso paste are added then beaten eggs are drizzled and stirred in.

Mushroom miso egg drop soup

What two favorites? Egg drop soup and miso soup, of course! They are our go-to soup recipes. So easy to make and their comfort food for my family.

So long as we have eggs and broth, we can make egg drop soup. Miso paste and dashi are the only two things required for miso soup. And those four ingredients โ€” eggs, broth, miso paste and dashi โ€” we’re rarely out of.

But making a soup that’s both egg drop and miso? It’s quite a story. I wasnโ€™t going to post a recipe for this soup. It was hurriedly made โ€” just an afterthought, really, because beef curry bread for dinner would have been such a dry meal.

So, I figured I might as well make soup. There wasnโ€™t much in the fridge. About a hundred grams of mushrooms, a bunch or scallions and a tub of miso paste. Elsewhere in the kitchen were a lone packet of dashi granules and a couple of eggs. I decided I had enough to make a good soup.

If shimeji isn't available (or if you're not into it), shiitake will work too. Just slice the caps thinly and saute in sesame seed oil along with the scallions.

    Basic miso soup has tofu, wakame and scallions. But you can add more vegetables, or even meat, mushrooms or seafood, and it won’t be sacrilege.
