A wonderfully light and fragrant soup. The sesame oil really makes this--it reminded me of wonton soup meets my (Italian) comfort soup. I tinkered with the beef broth and the soy sauce to get the right amount of flavor (no added salt needed). I used ground turkey instead of beef and dried onion instead of scallions. I'll definitely be making this again.
