South Korea, like many countries, suffered from long-term poverty after World War II, and the problem of food and clothing for its citizens was not completely solved in the 1960s and 1970s.

Spine Potato Soup (Spine Potato Soup) The origin of the name Spine Potato Soup is different.

Interestingly, more people think it's called "spine potato soup" because whole potatoes are thrown into the stew.
Spinal potato soup was once a local diet in Jeolla.
At that time, because they could not bear to kill the cow, the local people stewed the pig spine and added various vegetables to make a nourishing soup to strengthen the muscles and bones or to supplement the disease.
Pork spine is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin B1 and other nutrients.
After its nutritional value became known, it quickly became a favorite nutritious diet for men, women, and children.
