I think it's more delicate, and chicken broth or beef broth can be pretty one-note. That's especially the case in dehydrated products, which tend to be incredibly cheap and have their flavor highly bolstered with salt. They tend to just be pretty lousy, really. Good miso soup has a sort of refreshing clarity to it that doesn't seem to have much in common with the dullness of dehydrated soups, and the very light "green" hint of flavor of fresh green onion isn't the kind of complexity or delicacy I've ever seen in a dehydrated soup before.

On keeping tofu, it's no harder than opening a bag to pull a few slices out of a loaf of bread and closing it up again. Dumping the water out and filling it up again amounts to ten seconds every few days.
