Add the rest of the soup ingredients to the pot (except for the ones listed under “additions, plus 6 cups of water. Bring up to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Put in the meatballs (no need to brown them or anything beforehand). Simmer for at least half an hour. Dissolve the miso paste in some of the hot soup liquid, then add the whole thing to the pot. Taste, and season with salt and pepper. The soup improves after resting for a day or more. You may want to skim off the oil that accumulates at the top. To serve, garnish with more chopped parsley. (Don’t put the bay leaf or the parsley bunch in any of the servings.) Estimated calories per 1 cup serving with 3 meatballs is 200 calories, give or take a few calories.
