My most favourite is Yukgaejang!!
Lovely post and the pictures are making me hungry! Korean soups and stews really changed my opinion of soups in general as I was never a fan. So I gotta thank the gochugaru especially for being in most of the dishes recipes. Hope you can check and comment on my post about the 3 spicy soups in Korea I love myself: http://nyamwithny.com/spicy-korean-soups/
I really want to try Haejangguk and Seolleongtang one day. Are they any good?
