김치찌개 is my fav hot soup not in top 10 best soups?!

I am astounded and affronted by this! USA Clam Chowder is a great soup?! Ewww clams that is what poor sea side rif raff and urchins scrounge for and make with a little flour they can beg.

I think this gross food missight should be brought to the Korean TOurism Board so they can protest!

I will admit to having a few average bowls of Kim Chi Chigah - but this was probably due to the poor quality of the Kim Chi and the cheapness of the Kim Bob place... if you go to a posh place and ask for Kim Chi Chi Gah you will not fail.

I just can't stomach the tought of canned kimchi soup in the US.

[Porksta]

I myself prefer budaejjigae.

[pkang0202]

감자탕 should be in the top.

[Rutherford]

Aside from all the controversy, I think well made 보신탕 is delicious.

1.) French Onion Soup

2.) Lobster Bisque (if we can count bisques as soup)

3.) New England Clam Chowder

4.) etc.

25.) The fermented bean Korean soup.

Chigah has to be the worst romanisation I've ever heard.

A good kimchi jjigae is damn good but it's way too often stuffed up. Get one with decent-quality pork and sufficiently old kimchi, however, and it's on.

And yeah, kamjatang is something that's hard to go wrong with. I've had a salty one before that was kind of gross.

For me, slap some Chamchi in that thar pot and I'll get me bib

"kamjatang" - ok I agree that is good too... but if you go to a nice place or find a really excellent cheap kimbop shop that doe in good Kimchichikaa is the bomb - it even makes bland Korean rice taste good... lobster is all right I guess boiled in the shell and cracked apart but clams and lobster both are just too fishy in a soup... fish soup is a mark of a poor man apart from the Frankish Nobles who dine on beef and SPICY KIM CHI CHI GAH err well boiled cabbage with exotic peppers from the far east... It is possible some Grand Noble had a Korean cook for him if he happened to get him from a viking who got him from the Rus who got him from the Mongols who got him from the Chinese king who demanded him after EATING KIM CHI CHI GAH in a a Joeeesung dynasty emperor's court ball - they palyed soccer (soccer was by the Chosung dynasty and later stolen by Marco Polo)

This all reminds me to stop and at the ChewnGook Kim Bop Place and get a bowl of KIM CHI CHIKAY, after work today.

[The Floating World]

Sundooboo belongs in there, but no others.

[joelove]

The above post by the Great Toad makes me wonder if he has been licking toads.

[WadRUG'naDoo]

I like cream of asparagus soup. It is good food.
