<Sulungtang>
Introduction:
American people usually buy a chicken broth in a grocery store to make a soup. In most Korean soup, meat and meat bone are boiled for hours to make a delicious soup. Sulungtang is the most popular and well known soup. Its initial name was Sunongtang. Sunnongtang was not a food that was sold in restaurants like today; originally, people who participated in ancestral rites made food with offering (cow) and shared with others. This culture started in ancestral rites that took place in Sunongdan, and this is how this soup got its name. Sunongdan held rites for two agricultural gods, Sinnongsi and Hoojigsi, and the rites were called Sunongje. Joseon Period was a period agriculture has become the country’s basis, and many rites were performed at Sunnongdan. Over time, Sunongtang changed its name to Sulungtang. Sunnongje still exists today, and it is known that people still boil Sulungtang on the day. Sulungtang is very healthy food. It contains collagen, which is the main component of connective tissue.
