Awesome thread, OP. Allow me to contribute.

Possibly the most filling, delicious soup that is also dead simple to make.

Ingredients:
beef (fatty cut up into chunks)
potatoes (I recommend red!)
onions
garlic
mirin
dashi
soy sauce
black pepper
kombu
green onions

OPTIONAL:
konnyaku
kabocha
beef bouillon
+ whatever else you think will taste good

This is traditionally a home cooked meal. Measurements and times are arbitrary. Use your best judgement.

1. Boil the kombu and dashi in a pot to taste. It's gotta taste fishy and delicious.
2. Cut up some potatoes and onions and throw it in the pot. Add the kabocha and konnyaku if so inclined. Lower the heat to medium low
3. Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add in the bouillon and the meat. Lower to a simmer and let 'dem fats circulate in the soup. You're gonna want to have the broth reduce into a stew.
4. Once the meat is cooked, turn off the heat, and add the mirin, soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper. I add a bunch of each because I like it with a strong flavor.
5. Put it in a bowl, sprinkle some chopped scallions on top, and enjoy the best meal ever!

That's it.
