Milky beef bone soup with sliced meat and scallions in a black bowl.

Seolleongtang

South Korea · East Asia

Short description
This soup is mild, milky, and usually seasoned at the table.
Ingredients
Ox bones, beef, water, noodles or rice, scallions, salt, pepper, and sometimes garlic.
Cultural note
Long simmering is the point: bones and water become a plain broth that diners adjust with salt and scallions.
Common misconception
The pale color does not come from cream or milk; it comes from bone broth.
