Onion soup with clams

30 minutes

Onion soup with shellfish is a harmonious blend of seafood and fresh greens, popular in Japanese cuisine. Its roots trace back to the traditions of Japan's coastal regions where seafood plays a key role in the diet. The broth, rich in the aroma of seaweed and shellfish, has a depth of flavor complemented by the delicate taste of green onions and a slight tang from lemon juice. This soup not only warms but also benefits the body due to the richness of iodine and minerals found in marine ingredients. It is ideal for those who appreciate light yet rich dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients.
