Tonjiru

Tonjiru or Butajiru (豚汁,とん汁,とんじる) - both literally mean pig/pork soup — is a Japanese soup made with pork and vegetables, flavoured with miso

Tonjiru is usually made by stewing thinly sliced pieces of pork, alongside vegetables, in dashi stock, and flavoured by dissolving miso.

Common additional ingredients include burdock root, konjac, seaweed, spring onions, daikon radish, carrot, tofu including fried tofu (aburaage), tubers such as potatoes, taro or sweet potato, and mushrooms such as shiitake and shimeji.

On rare occasions, mildly degreased (not crispy) bacon can be used in place of pork. Instant Tonjiru is also available.
