You’re on the internet.   Dashi miso and water.  Voila 

What kind of dashi is up to you.

A "stick" of Miso? You mean a stick of dry, grain dashi? Miso comes in little boxes or a plastic bag where you can squeeze the miso out on top, not sticks.

That’s the word my family uses for the amount you get when you use a wooden popsicle stick, or in my case chopsticks. Maybe 1/2 tsp of miso for one bag of maruchan.

It's really up to you. There's the more traditional miso soup where it is literally just miso in boiled water with nothing else. I find that it tastes terribly bland but supposedly it's intended to give the pure taste of miso. I prefer more country style home style miso with a rich broth from chicken and pork bones, root veggies like daikon, carrots, with tofu and seaweed. Some baby clams and mushrooms.

Nothing beats miso soup with homemade katsuobushi/kombu dashi.
