Effortless Korean Detox Soup: 마녀스프 with Coin Broth Tablets

Witch's Soup (마녀스프), is a popular dish in Korea known for its detoxifying and weight-loss benefits. The name "Witch's Soup" might come from its seemingly magical ability to help people lose weight quickly and cleanse their bodies, much like a witch's potion. Many Koreans enjoy this soup as part of a Korean diet plan, especially because it's packed with nutritious vegetables and is low in calories. The addition of beef adds heartiness, making it a satisfying yet healthy meal.
