Is miso udon soup common? -

I make Kake udon (called Su udon in Kansai) on a regular basis because it is good tasting and easy to make and I can make it suitable for myself because I am a vegetarian. I just make a kombu/shiitake dashi and pour it over cooked udon noodles to make udon noodle soup. I have been making this for a while because of the simplicity.
I also use miso soup sometimes (miso paste dissolved in my vegetarian dashi) and add my noodles to that. I honestly prefer the "miso udon soup" over the "regular udon soup". The miso gives it a much hardier flavor.
Do Japanese people ever eat "miso udon soup" as I have never seen it listed in a Japanese cookbook. I have seen udon soup listed and miso soup listed, but I have never seen them listed as a combined recipe. Anyone know the answer?
