- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce for Soup (Guk-ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp Tuna Extract
- 0.5 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the green onion diagonally. Peel the potatoes and onion, then cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly the size you’d pick up with a spoon. Cutting them this way helps them maintain their shape while cooking.
Step 2
In a pot, add 1.2L of water and the 3 anchovy broth cubes. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat with the lid off. Using anchovy broth cubes allows you to achieve a deep, savory flavor without making a separate broth.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium. Add the prepared potatoes and onion to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly. Be careful not to overcook at this stage, as the potatoes can become mushy.
Step 4
Now that the potatoes and onion are partially cooked, it’s time to season. Add 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup, 1 Tbsp of tuna extract, and 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. Tip: Adding more soy sauce for soup can make the broth darker, so using salt for the final seasoning helps maintain a clear broth color. Adjust to your preference.
Step 5
After seasoning, add the sliced green onion and simmer for another 1-2 minutes to finish the soup. Avoid boiling the green onions for too long, as they can lose their crisp texture; add them near the end. Enjoy your delicious potato soup with a warm bowl of rice!
