Korean army soup

Korea's army soup grew unexpectedly. The army soup, though simple, has an extraordinary name. After the end of the Second World War, Korea had been liberated from the colonial rule of Japan but had not achieved genuine independence. A large number of United States troops were then stationed south of the Korean peninsula, while the Soviet forces occupied the northern part of the peninsula. Soon after the Korean War broke out, Koreans were in dire need of goods and even hungry for leaves. However, the United States Army in Korea is well supplied. Some U.S. soldiers threw their expired hams and sausages off their hands. But for the hungry Koreans, these “breaths” are like pies falling from the sky. The locals picked them up and cleaned them up, together with homemade pickles, noodles, tofu, etc., which became a delicious meal. The original inventor of this “mix” was a villager near the Korean-American military base. They also gave it the name "Johnson soup." Later, the dish spread over Korea, and the name became indigenous and became “force soup”. This "force" means the Korean-American army. Although some people do not want to mention that sad past, today the army soup has become South Korea's popular dish and is increasingly popular。
