Kenchin Jiru Recipe (Traditional Japanese Soup)

Last year I joined Kawagoe marathon. After the race hot soups called kenchin jiru (けんちん汁) in Japan were distributed for runners. I stood in the line with a ticket for one soup. but many runners got the soup and it was distributed completely before I get it. I was sad... So I cooked the soup at home. Let me introduce the recipe.

Kenchin jiru is a traditional vegetable soup in Japan. Basically the sauce is a soy sauce but I think Miso can be used too. This soup is traditional light taste and a little boring for youth comparing with a strong Ramen. (maybe it's same for foreign travelers...)  But this is a mother's soup and reminds me a childhood :)
