summertime soup? why not?

despite the fact that it's summer, it's been a little bit of june gloom around where i live: gray skies, cooler weather, windy, even a little bit of sprinkling here and there. so in honor of the weather, i made soup for dinner tonight.

usually, when i make soup, i just throw a bunch of ingredients together. i'm really at measuring--i tend to just eyeball it and i have no clue as to how much of each ingredient i put in. this has occasionally backfired, like the time i put in too much salt/soy sauce/sesame seed oil and it ended being way too salty. but i learned from that mistake and this soup turned out better.

general ingredients (no measurements, sorry):
oxtail
beef for stew
chicken broth/water
salt and pepper
garlic
potatoes
lemon juice
ginger
green onions
spinach
sesame seed oil
soy sauce
teriyaki sauce
udon noodles

yummy! the only problem is that, as usual, i made too much and i'll be eating soup for the rest of the week, which is unfortunate because it's supposed to heat up, according to weather.com. oops. oh, well.
