Kimchi soup is a famous Korean dish that is made from 100% vegetables. It is vegan/vegetarian friendly dish. Kimchi soup is known as kimchi jjigae. There are few varieties in kimchi soup/kimchi jjigae. Some like to add meat or chicken in their soup, however some like to use tofu/taufu or mushroom in their soup. This depends solely on the individual. I personally prefer tofu kimchi soup which is my favourite among all the other kimchi soups.
