Here's a Japanese soup that is home-kitchen friendly. Look for miso (a prepared soybean and rice or barley paste) and nori (paper-thin sheets of seaweed used for sushi) at Asian or health food stores. Because miso settles, have guests stir their soup before eating.

- 6 cups 6cupswater

Preparation
In large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring vegetable stock and water to boil. Dissolve miso in 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; whisk miso mixture into pot.
Stir in cubed tofu and sliced mushrooms; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate in shallow airtight containers for up to 2 days. Reheat to continue with recipe.)
If using nori, cut sheet into 3- x 1/4-inch (8 cm x 5 mm) strips with scissors; add to stock mixture in pot.
