Seolleongtang is Korea’s classic beef bone soup—creamy white, deeply nourishing, and pure comfort on a cold day. Traditionally simmered for hours, this homemade Instant Pot version brings the same rich flavor in far less time. A cozy, everyday Korean soup that’s perfect with rice, noodles, and tangy radish kimchi.
For me, seolleongtang (설렁탕) isn’t just soup—it’s the taste of home. On cold winter weekends, my mom would pull out a huge stockpot, fill it with beef bones, and let it bubble away for hours, sometimes days.
The whole house smelled warm and comforting, and we all knew that pot meant a week of nourishing meals ahead. I loved this old-style ox bone soup even when I was little.
