Seoul Chaser: A Classic Sipping Broth for Any Occasion
Share
The original "hug in a mug" - deeply savory, subtly complex, and endlessly customizable. Start with a steaming pour of Reclamation bone broth - grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, or pasture-raised chicken - season it just right with sea salt, then add toppings to fit your mood: scallions for freshness, garlic and ginger for a healing kick, or a sprinkle of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) if you're chasing heat. It's a warming ritual that's as simple as it is satisfying, whether you're cozying up solo or pouring mugs for friends.
