Breakfast Soup

A lot of Koreans eat soup for breakfast (usually with rice and kimchi), and that is what I am doing today, making 청국장 or "cheong guk jang", which is a traditional fermented soybean paste soup.

A lot of my students tell me they don't like it, due largely to the fact that it smells something like old socks.

If you can get past the smell, however, you might enjoy the unique taste.  It's also quite healthy!
