This traditional Korean soup features easier-to-find ingredients without sacrificing any flavour. For example, instead of traditional dried anchovies or fermented shrimp paste, we've used umami-rich fish sauce. The one exception is the gochugaru, which gives the soup its authentic flavour; you can find it in major grocery stores as well as Asian markets.

Ingredients
Method
In Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add kimchi, garlic and red pepper powder; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 4 minutes.
Pour in broth and 2 cups water; bring to boil. Stir in mushrooms and green onions; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Using spoon, scoop tofu into scant 1/4-cup portions; add to soup. Gently stir in fish sauce and soy sauce; cook until tofu is heated through, about 3 minutes.
Bring to gentle boil; stir in eggs, breaking up yolks. Let stand until egg whites are opaque, about 2 minutes.
