Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add dried anchovies and konbu. (Could be replaced by water or stock of your choice)

  2. 2

    Remove the anchovies and konbu from the pot using a slotted spoon or strainer.

  3. 3

    Add diced potatoes, diced onion, and sliced zucchini to the pot.

  4. 4

    Stir in miso paste until dissolved into the broth.

  5. 5

    Stir in Korean soybean paste (doenjang) and Korean chili paste (gochujang) until well combined.

  6. 6

    Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  7. 7

    Add sliced tofu and sliced bell pepper to the pot and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the tofu is heated through.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot to release their starch and thicken the soup.

  9. 9

    Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
