I've been eating this soup for all my life. When Later on in life, I encountered the typical 'pork soup,' and I was really surprised!
I was able to finally put together a recipe I was satisfied with, remembering the way my mother used to make it.

It's a very simply flavored light soup, so adjust the amount of salt and soy sauce to your taste.
The sizes specified for the solid ingredients are approximate, so vary these to your taste as well.
If you don't skim off the scum, the soup will become cloudy. (Using a store-bought scum removal sheet makes this so much easier!) For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Kakigori
