Japanese Onion Soup
My oldest son loves a japanese restaurant in springfield, missouri named nakato's. his favorite of all is their japanese onion soup. after trial & error in the kitchen, i came up with this recipe that my son says is almost a perfect match for his favorite soup. while the restaurant removes almost all the veggies before serving, we actually prefer leaving them in. enjoy!!
