Korean Noodle Soup is a popular comfort food across entire Korea. According to Korean culture, noodles symbolize long and happy lives and that's the reason behind why noodle soups are served especially during festivities and joyous occasions. Our Korean Noodle Soup recipe is based on the classic dish. Most of the times, the broth for the soup is made using beef or dried anchovies. Seaweed like Nor ... i or Kimchi is later added for flavouring. Koreans prefer to not cook their spices after the soup is done. They mix them in after the cooking is finished. This is why the soups have a burst of flavours behind them. The thin long noodles in these soups are referred to as Somyeon (소면) which translates to 'wheat noodles.' Korean Noodle Soup ingredients may add boiled eggs and an assortment of colourful veggies too. Mushrooms may be added when you prepare Korean Noodle soup at home since it lends a meaty texture. If you crave something warm and light during the winter days, our Korean Noodle Soup recipe will hit the spot. Just make sure you watch our Korean Noodle Soup video before you get started though because it shows you how to make this the right way.

Health Benefits of Korean Noodle Soup
The biggest Korean Noodle Soup benefits lie in the fact that Koreans don't use any processed ingredients. There's no GMO, preservatives, fillers or anything hidden in these soup bowls. The food is derived fresh from nature and the meat for the soups are free of any hormones and antibiotics. Chicken or egg in the soup are bioavailable sources of nutrients, thus being good sources of Vitamin A and iron. There is an adequate lean protein in a bowl of this soup and when you learn how to make Korean noodle soup the right way, you get to learn so much about what you put into your meals. Seaweed is a rich source of iodine and many trace minerals, both of which are missing from modern-day diets. When you add mushrooms and veggies to the soup, you get an abundance of Vitamin D, folate, fibre, and vital phytonutrients - all of which benefit your health and wellbeing. If you're trying to treat your body gently and give it the right kind of fuel, this recipe is recommended. It's good for celebrations, post-workouts or any time of the year. Sit down for a warm bowl of soup during the wintry days with your family and soak in the goodness that lies await you. You will love it.
