In a large pot, add the vegetable broth and 4 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the chopped carrot, quartered onion, crushed garlic, sliced ginger, and chopped green onions to the pot.
Stir in the soy sauce, miso paste, dried mushrooms, and star anise.
Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the broth simmer gently for around 90 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
After 90 minutes, strain the broth through a fine strainer into another pot or large bowl to remove the solid ingredients.
Taste the broth, and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if necessary.
Serve the broth immediately with your favorite ramen noodles and toppings, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
