Down to Earth. Pure and simple. Leeks, Carrots, Daikon, Turnip, Sweet Potato, Smoked Tofu. Chopped into chunks, placed in Vegetable stock, brought to boil then simmered for a good 30 minutes. Mirin, Shoyu and some diluted Miso added, served with Toasted Sesame Seeds. So hearty and nourishing, its ridiculous.
