SO HOW'D IT GO?
I love this soup. This is almost exactly how I make it- but I don't measure, I also add some red pepper paste. Really comforting and healthy!
I actually just dump the rice into the soup and eat it. I like to eat this non-spicy. It's great for when you're sick and have a cold.
Yeah... you can also add some taters if you want...just cube'em up... and throw it in there when you put the bean paste in... and always eat with kimchi... at least I do.. it just seems to complete the meal.. hehe.. rice, kimchi and some real tasty soup...
