                    I ordered a similar soup at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants and wanted to recreate this soup since it was very healthy and warming. I must say this is very close if not better than what I had at the restaurant! You can also add some seafood to this soup. Please also visit my blog,  for more gluten-free, pesco-vegetarian recipes.
