Udon Noodle Soup with Pork

This soup is inspired by the soothing noodle soups that are so popular in Japanese cuisine, filled with thick, chewy udon noodles and meaty shiitake mushrooms. Its success depends largely on the quality of the broth; make your own or seek out the highest-quality, low-sodium broth you can find.
