This is my second soup recipe this week. Winter time means lots of soups in my house, can you tell?

Use your preferred cut of beef whether it be flank steak, sirloin, chuck roast, brisket, etc. Since it’s been slow cooked until tender and sliced thin, you have a lot of leeway here. To make this more traditional Japanese soup, replace the low-sodium beef broth with a Japanese dashi stock.

I used mushroom flavored udon noodles. They’re fresh and pre-cooked; prefect for dropping into a soup or even a stir-fry. I added the udon noodles at the end of the cooking. They warmed through in just a few minutes.

Since the meat is sliced thin and the udon noodles are already cooked, this soup cooks fairly fast. It’s done within an hour or so.

I've never heard of this before, but it looks like a simple recipe. Even better that it is a crockpot recipe.
