Hello π
This is Grace, a mom of two boys.
Today, I’m sharing my personal recipe for soybean paste soup (Doenjang-guk) — a comforting Korean staple π²
It may look simple, but achieving that deep, rich flavor can actually be tricky!
Small differences can turn your soup into either:
π A rich and savory masterpiece
π Or a bland, heavy broth
So today, I’ll share my tips for making it just right!

π Choosing the Right Doenjang Matters
The most important ingredient is the soybean paste itself.
I personally use Sempio Tojang, which has a deep flavor without being overly salty — perfect for soups!

β Key Tip for Better Flavor
When adding protein or main ingredients like:
β Beef brisket
β Shrimp
β Clams
β Shepherd’s purse
π Choose just ONE.
Adding too many flavors at once can muddy the broth.

Add mushrooms if you have them, and don’t forget tofu!
Cut everything into bite-sized pieces.

πΆ How to Add Depth
Add Korean chili peppers and green onions for extra flavor.
β οΈ Avoid chili powder — it can make the soup cloudy.
Fresh peppers provide a cleaner heat!

π² Cooking Instructions
Place all ingredients in a pot and add enough water to cover them.
π Start with 1 tablespoon of doenjang.
Once the color develops, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with a little salt if needed.
