Question: what is the difference between clear soup and miso soup?
Answer: Seasoning. As you know, Miso soup has a brown color that comes from its main seasoning, Miso soybean paste, while Suimono, or Osuimono is a kind of clear soup. The soup broth of Suimono is made basically by seasoning “Dashi (出汁)” soup stock with soy sauce and salt.
