Udon soup is a Japanese dish consisting of dashi broth (made with bonito flakes and kombu), soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Udon noodles are thick and contain wheat flour and salt. Like many Asian noodle soups, they’re served cold in the warmer months and hot in the winter months. What’s served with the soup depends upon what vegetables or meats are plentiful during that season. Try chilled noodle soup in the summer if you haven’t yet.
