Place the water in a pot, cover and bring to a boil. Add the wakame, cover, reduce the flame to medium-low, and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the shittake mushrooms and the bonita flakes to the soup. Cover and simmer 4-5 minutes. Place the snow peas and the tofu in the pot. Reduce the flame to very low. Dilute the miso with a few tablespoons of the broth and add it to the soup.

-It was cold and snowing here today (yes snow) and this was such a good soup! I used barley miso for this. I omitted the bonita.
