Beef offal soup

Beef offal soup

　　   Beef offal soup is a Korean dish with a delicious flavor, where the offal is tender and soft, and the broth is rich and savory. Legend has it that King Sejong was personally plowing a field in the royal farm when a sudden heavy rain fell. Unable to move and extremely hungry, he slaughtered a cow to stave off hunger. After cooking the beef, he added only green onions and seasoned it with salt before drinking the broth. From then on, this soup came to be called beef offal soup. The soup is made by simmering beef, cartilage, and marrow bones, with the meat sliced and seasoned with green onions, black pepper, and salt. Because many bones are used to make the broth, the color is pale and cloudy.
