Notes

If you like to change the flavor without changing the recipe, you can add some add-ons.  Lemon will give nice sour flavor to the soup.  Chopped ginger root is spicy but refreshing.  Sesame oil adds the distinctive and rich taste to the dish.  Experiment different flavorings to find your favorite!
