Beef and Radish Soup- Korean Seogogi Mu Guk

Korean Beefiness and Radish Soup or Seogogi Mu Guk (소고기 무국) or sometimes just called Daikon Soup is something I have been significant to mail service for a looong time. It is such a basic Korean staple, I can't believe I haven't posted it nevertheless. Sorry folks!!

By the way, I have already posted couple Korean radish soups before – one is a Doenjang Radish Soup with anchovy stock with no beef; ane is a Cabbage Radish soup with beef and soybean sprouts. However, this detail Beefiness and Radish Soup recipe is probably the most classic one of all. It is such a classic that this soup is frequently served on Korean air flights and often in Korean restaurants.

Korean Beefiness and Radish Soup for babies

The season of this radish soup is very mild and soothing. It is just a combination of bang-up beef stock + sugariness and clean taste of radish + garlic and sesame oil flavors that rounds out the dish. It is a peachy soup to feed your little ones as well! I think I fed my daughter this soup with rinsed cabbage kimchi when she was first ready for regular solid foods. Until my daughter was ii years old, she really did not like to eat any of the baby nutrient. I had the most difficult time trying to feed her. I tried making home fabricated baby nutrient with footing beef, carrots and rice but she didn't desire whatsoever of it.  She just wanted apple tree juice all the time.

But when I fed her this beef and radish soup with some rice, she just gobbled it up!! And even to this 24-hour interval, she loves Korean soups and stews. Even though she was born in the Us and LOVES American food, still her favorite breakfast nutrient is some rice and some kind of soup like this 1 or my husband's beefiness cabbage radish soup or stale pollock soup. I guess the baby food was just not as yummy as this soup. 😉

So if you have a finicky baby who doesn't like eating baby food, effort feeding this soup or any of the mild tasting Korean soups with some rice. They may actually similar that much ameliorate than the bland infant food made from pureed carrots, peas, or whatever. I hateful, I tasted that stuff in one case and I said to myself –

'Oh NO wonder she doesn't want to eat this! It'due south so bland and mushy!!' 😝 😝

Anyway, hope you like my version of this archetype Korean soup.
