Asuka soup made with soy milk
The local school lunch for April is Nara Prefecture.
Asukajiru is a miso soup made with milk, chicken, and seasonal vegetables, and is a traditional dish of Nara Prefecture. It is said that milk and chicken dishes were introduced from the Tang Dynasty, an old Chinese dynasty, during the Asuka period and were eaten by aristocrats.
Today's Asukajiru soup was made with soy milk instead of milk. Both the soy milk and the miso used for seasoning are made from soybeans, so they go well together and create a mellow flavor.

scotch broth
This month's World Cuisine is British.
Scotch broth is a famous dish in Scotland, England, and is a hearty soup made by simmering meat, vegetables, barley, etc. In Scotland, lamb or beef is often used, but the school lunch version was made with pork.
The barley used in the soup is called "oshimugi," which is steamed barley that has been crushed and dried. It is rich in dietary fiber, which improves stomach conditions, and has a fun, crunchy texture.
