Healthy and yummy (vegetarian) miso soup receipe, made from what I can remember was served in the soup made by my Japanese host mother:

1 cup vegetable broth mixed with 1 cup water (or 2 cups vegetable broth if it's low sodium)
5 shiitake mushrooms, diced small
1 small yukon gold potato, diced into 1cm by 1cm cubes
1/4 of a block of extra firm tofu, diced the same size as potatoes
2 whole scallions sliced
1/4 cup of dried wakame seaweed, cut into 1 inch strips
2 tablespoons of miso paste
1/5 of a yellow onion, sliced into very thin slices and then cut lengthwise

Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Serves 2.

Eat this every day for all of these health benefits:
