This is an old family favorite. My mom got this recipe from a friend many many years ago, at the Yokota Japan Air Base wives club.

It came from Yokota; hence Yok Onion Soup.

It's so delicious, it's a year round soup for us. We love it best in winter of course. Mmmmm!

This is crazy! I just had this for the first time because my grandma and grandpa were stationed overseas and she got this recipe the exact same way. This might be the best soup I have ever had. We do homemade sourdough and cut it into croutons size and put some olive oil on them and baked them until crispy (like a crouton) then did the rest. Not a huge soup connoisseur but this soup is so damn good.

They also served a thin spicy steak with the YOK soup but I can't find a recipe for it. The club was open 24 hours during the Vietnamese war and kept a large pot of the soup on hand for aircrews to serve themselves.
