Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup consisting of a stock called "dashi" into which is mixed softened miso paste. Although the suspension of miso paste into dashi is the only characteristic that actually defines miso soup, many other ingredients are added depending on regional and seasonal recipes as well as personal preference.
nuts are not a usual ingredient of soup but walnut oil or almond flakes can enhance the flavour
Ogbono soup is made with ground ogbono seeds, with considerable local variation. Besides the seeds, water, and oil, it typically contains leaf vegetables, other vegetables, seasonings, and meat.

Typical meats include beef, goat, fish, shrimp, or crayfish.
