Squid Soup
Daddy grew up on the water so naturally, he ate a lot of seafood growing up. There isn’t much that he won’t consume if it comes from the sea and I followed suit and am a huge fan of seafood myself. One of his favorites has got to be squid. Growing up, we had a deep freeze full of them, among mackerel, anchovies, shrimp, and so forth. I always made jokes about how I could just go fishing in the freezer so it’s to go without saying, we eat squid often and when we do it’s as a squid stir fry or this bright and vibrant squid soup.

- 3-4 c water
- 2 c shrimp shells
- ½ c Korean radish
- ½ sliced onion
- ½ c cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, leeks, etc
- 1 cleaned/cut squid
- 2 tb fish sauce
- 1 ts sesame oil
- 1 tb Korean red pepper flakes
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ ts ginger
- 3 green onions
- To make the stock, bring your water and shells to a rolling boil for about 15-20 minutes. Strain it through to collect the shells and set your broth aside.
- In the same pot, toss in your veggies, squid, fish sauce, sesame oil, pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger. Give everything a mix and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Set your pot on medium-high and re-introduce the broth to the pot. Just bring it to a bubble (you don’t want to over cook squid). It’s ready when the squid slightly curls and turns completely white.
- Turn off the heat and scatter in your green onions.
Wishing you a fabulous weekend!
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

That’s just one thing I love about food
If I could only get a squid over here, It looks amazing, lucky you.
This makes me sad to hear
I just saw some squid at my local Asian market and thought, “But what would I do with this?” Now I know! Thanks for sharing, this soup looks fantastic
I love squid, I love all seafood really! I used to be scared of squid because the tentacles freakd me out but now I love it! This reminds me of a soup I saw in a Korean drama hee hee. Love it!
I had to get over the ick factor quick as dad goes nuts over the stuff… Glad I could share the tentacle love with you
Yay! I hope it inspires some squid dishes for you
Now you have me wishing that squid was readily available here. Looks delectable.
So sad to keep hearing this boo!
This sounds delicious!
I had a great week end and I hope you did also Angie. You are welcome and thank you!

Not wild about squid but your soup looks really delicious!
I’ll take it
Aw, thanks Unni!
My curiosity is peaked, especially on the shrimp shell stock. It sounds like a great soup, love everything in it.
Thanks, Evelyne!
I’m happy to learn a new squid recipe! I have never made a squid soup but this one looks very promising. I am a big squid fan (the only one among my European friends actually..) and accidentally my favourite and the most frequent squid dish is a squid stir-fry with carrots and cabbage (and gochujang) I once found in a Korean cookery book. I get hungry even thinking about it.
I very recently became a fan of squid, and realize I was missing out for sure:-) Your soup sounds really wonderful, and I love all the flavors! Hugs, Terra
This looks delicious! I love that you used shrimp shells to make the stock. I bet it was very flavorful.
It was a great way to use up my shrimp shells, lol
Thanks, Terra! I’m happy to hear that squid is losing its bad rep
It’s one of my favorite quick meals too!!!
Angie, I’m pretty new to your site, and haven’t gotten all the way back into your posts, but seeing the ‘squid’ post caught my eye and so I checked it out. Love this! I also watched the squid stir fry video, yum! I noticed the squid you used in the stir fry looks a lot like the squid (I am oh so lucky to have) at my local Asian market. They literally call it Korean Squid. I haven’t had the courage yet, but I do now to go and buy some this weekend and give it a try. I love, love squid. thank you!
It’s very nice to meet you, Angela. I love your name
