  5. In a large mixing bowl, add the white miso, sesame paste, mirin, grated garlic and then combine well. 
  6. Sieve the stock and pour over the miso mixture slowly while whisking to ensure a smooth soup. Reserve the shiitake mushrooms to use as toppings.

  8. Bring the soup to the boil, and reduce the heat to low. Add the soy milk to the soup, then simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes. Be careful not to let it boil after adding the soy milk as it will cause the soy milk to curdle.
