Curry Flavored Udon Soup (Low-Calorie)
A lighter Japanese noodle soup pairing chicken breast with udon in a curry-spiced dashi broth thickened lightly with cornstarch instead of the usual fat-heavy roux. Onion, carrot, and scallion add body while the broth stays clear and warming, finished with soy sauce and a hint of ginger.
