Enjoy extra deliciousness by coating plenty of vegetables in a rich, thick soup! Once you try it, you'll be hooked.
Recipe background:
When my child was little, I noticed they only slurped the noodles in ramen, so I tried thickening the soup. It turned out so tasty that now my whole family loves it.

アラフォーの平凡なサラリーマン♂です。14才と10才の男の子がいる４人家族です。料理は昔から好きで、週末はたいていもりもり作ってます。男の料理！という路線よりは、特売や家に残っている材料で、どれだけ日常的なおかずが作られるかを最近のテーマにしとります。最近はなかなかレシピ投稿する時間がありませんが、近々に再開していきたいなぁと思っています。
