Min is a spicy food addict who proclaims he triumphed, being listed on the Hall of Fame for finishing the infamous Habanero hamburger in some pub in San Mateo. On the other hand, I am very opposite to him. Compared to average Koreans, the level of spiciness I can tolerate in my body is very low and the only spicy foods I can have are probably kimchi and just few other dishes. So, whenever I make a spicy food like Kimchi Fried Rice as before (this is only considered moderately spicy though), I try to serve it with more mild and soothing dish to cool my mouth down afterwards. This mild Egg-Potato Soup definitely goes well with Kimchi Fried Rice.

dried anchovies (10)
dried kelps (1)
water (5 cup)

potatoes (3/4 cup, sliced or cut bite-size)

@Yunni, yay I am so glad you like this soup. This is such a mom's soup that you can't really find anywhere but your own or umma's kitchen. I doubt any restaurant serves this soup.
