My husband has been encouraging me to learn to make korean dishes and soups. I came across your site and chose this soup in particular because it was easy for me and we already had these ingredients in the home. I made this soup for him as a suprise along with some side dishes and he ate 2 bowls of it. Told me I did a good job with it. Very flavorful too as I added one spicy pepper since he likes a little spice. 😊 I will definitely make again.
So happy to hear that you liked this soup. I often make this recipe with different greens and chili peppers as well. Your husband is a lucky guy!😊
Very tasty light soup. Delicious.
Your soup is a work of art.
Oh, thank you very much.
Looks like a perfectly healthy and tasty soup!
