Rainy days require soup!

chuck cushman's avatar by on

I love soup in all its forms and varieties. I make soup regularly and make up recipes for soup almost as often. Soup is just good stuff in a broth, so anything goes. And when it’s cool or cold (and let’s be real, sometimes in the middle of the summer, too) and raining, my soul cries out for a big steaming bowl of soup. I made this one up last night for dinner, and had leftovers for lunch today.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil

  • 1/2 large onion, diced

  • 1 stalk celery, diced (with leaves if you have any)

  • 1/2 bunch lacinato kale, shredded thinly

  • 1 Tbsp. garlic-ginger paste

  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce

  • 1 Tbsp. gochujang (Korean pepper paste)

  • 4 cups chicken or fish broth

  • 6 oz. white fish, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 8 oz. fresh Korean wheat noodles

Directions

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a soup pot. Add the onions and celery once hot. Add in the kale and sauté to coat it with the oil.
  • Add the garlic-ginger paste, soy sauce, and gochujang and stir to coat.
  • Add the broth and cook until it is warm to hot.
  • Add the fish and cook for five minutes.
  • Add the noodles and cook for another 6-7 minutes. The soup will thicken as the noodles cook.
  • Serve with fried onions or shallots, or crackers — I got some delicious scallion pancake crackers at H Mart and they go well with the is soup.
