How do the beef and abalone flounder seaweed soups taste?

Finally the main seaweed soups I'd ordered arrived... and just the look of them drew an admiring sigh.

The beef seaweed soup came loaded with a huge amount of beef!! The broth is rich yet completely clean, with no gamey smell. The meat is simmered so it's tender to chew, and the savory depth of seaweed and beef runs deep through the broth — a flavor pretty much anyone would love!!

Fresh whole abalone and a large whole flounder went in, so it's packed full of ocean flavor. The flounder flesh stays intact and is easy to lift out whole.

The broth is so refreshing and clean-tasting that it genuinely feels like eating a restorative health dish.
