Ingredients:

Serving

7 cups water
a 6-inch length of kombu * (dried kelp), wiped with a dampened cloth
1 oz (about 2 cups) dried bonito flakes
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp mirin * (syrup rice wine)
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 lb dried soba* (buckwheat noodles )
2 carrots, sliced thin
1/2 lb spinach , coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well , spun dry , and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips
8 to 10 oz firm tofu ( preferably silken), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 to 4 tbsp miso* (fermented bean paste), or to taste, if desired
2 scallions, minced

Directions:

Make the broth: In a saucepan bring the water to a boil with the kombu, simmer the kombu for 2 minutes, and remove it with tongs, discarding it. Stir in the bonito flakes and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, the mirin, and the sugar and simmer the broth for 5 minutes. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl and pour it back into the pan.
In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the noodles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are al dente, being careful not to overcook them, drain them in a colander, and rinse them under cold water.
Add the carrots to the broth and simmer them, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the tofu and simmer the soup for 1 minute. In a small bowl stir together well 1/2 cup of the soup broth and the miso and pour the mixture back into the pan. Divide the noodles among 6 large bowls, ladle the soup over them, and sprinkle each serving with some of the scallions.
