Super easy

This soup recipe is a personal favorite of mine. I love making it as much as I do eating it. I used to get this when I was a kid when my Parents would take me to a Japanese Restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. I loved it then and I love that I can eat it now on a Low Sodium diet. It just takes me back.
