In a small bowl soften the miso by stirring in tablespoonfuls of warm Dashi (or chicken stock). Mixture should be very smooth like a thick sauce.

Be careful not to boil soup.
Add watercress and ladle into warm bowls and serve immediately. Place a drop or two of hot pepper sesame oil in each bowl if desired.
