I had a few jars of store bought kimchi that i wanted to get rid of because they’d been sitting round for awhile.  I didn’t want salad or to just eat it out of the jar like i’d been doing in the past.  Then i remembered a recipe for kimchi soup i’d come across and thought i’d give it a go.

There’s really no set recipe.  I just used what i had on hand and added it to my dutch oven and let it simmer for about 2 hours.  Ingredients i used were;

  • 1 10oz jar of store bought napa cabbage kimchi
  • 1 12oz jar of store bought daikon kimchi
  • ½ of fresh cup cabbage
  • about 5 freshly purred tomatoes
  • about 3 cups of bone broth
  • water as needed
  • salt to taste

Basically that’s it.  It made my whole house smell wonderful.  I’d cooked some jasmine rice ahead of time to eat with the soup as well.  Threw some freshly cooked pieces of bacon on top and i was DONE.

    hey,

    what is “bone broth”??

    1. It’s broth made using only the bones of any leftover meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc). It’s boiled in a huge pot of water for HOURS and any spices and/or fresh veggies of choice can be added as well.

        thank you, I am sure veggie broth can be substituted, right??

        1. You’re welcome. Veggie broth can be used too or you can just use water.

            cool, have you ever tried making your own kimchee, and if so, do you have a good recipe?

          2. Yes i make my own version of it all the time. No recipe though since it’s different every time i make it.
