Very simple to make, and really flavoursome, ideal winter breakfast or all-purpose soup. Based on a recipe from my asian cookbook, but that was too salty, so I changed it.

* 2 shiitake Mushrooms<BR>
* 1 scallion<BR>
* 1 tablespoon miso (I use barely miso)<BR>

===Directions===
Slice Shiitake Mushrooms.<BR>
Slice up green part of scallion, to garnish later.<BR>
Bring water (with stcok if desired) to boil.<BR>
Stir in miso paste and Mushrooms.<BR>
Lower heat, simmer for 5 minutes.<BR>
Pour into serving dish, sprinkle scallion on.<BR>
Serve immediately.
