Always check for a gluten-free label on all packaged items. In a shared kitchen, avoid porous materials — wooden spoons, wooden cutting boards, and scratched non-stick pans can harbor gluten proteins even after washing. Prefer glass, metal, or silicone tools.

Tips & Notes
- Whisk the miso with a ladle of hot stock first, as step 4 says, so it doesn't clump.
- Don't let the soup boil after adding miso. Boiling dulls its flavor.
- Add tender greens like bok choy leaves in the last few minutes so they stay bright.
