Miso Soup w/ Sweet Potato Dumplings

This past week, Em and I made this soup. While not either of our favorites, it had a lot of interesting stuff going on and was pretty good.

I couldn't find pure miso paste (who would have thought Trader Joe's wouldn't carry it) so we ended up with miso soup mix ... which was a good things since Em saw that several people had commented that the soup portion was a bit bland. Our soup tasted just like the miso soup you get in a Japanese restaurant. The dumplings, arguably the best part, were very good. Em would have preferred less additions to the sweet potatoes but I thought it was a nice balance. The only downside was the extra prep time (compared to the tiny amount of time it took for everything else).

All in all, it was a good recipe that we might try again with some variations (plus we have 3 more packets of miso-soup mix so we can experiment).
