Kenchin Jiru

Kenchin Jiru typically has satoimo and konnyaku, but since I didn't have any, I threw in regular potatoes and shirataki instead. I didn't even put any tofu either because the pot got pretty full with just vegetables (I just really felt like eating lots of vegetables today. My body is very good at telling me what I should be eating recently). This soup is very VERY bland (and boring, in a way), so I really wasn't expecting the kids to eat much tonight. In fact, I was so ready to serve their favorite Korean seaweed to eat with steamed rice in case they wouldn't touch the soup at all. To my surprise though, they loved it! WOW! They ARE Japanese, I guess!
