Answer 2

It's called "Dwenjang Jjigae", the more apt description would be a stew, since it's a little bit thicker than what we consider soup (called guke, jjigae means stew).

It's hard to find online recipes that are authentic but I would definitely recommend the sites below. I put in the specific links where the recipes are, however, you can navigate the sites on your own for more great information about Korean food, recipes, etc.

I looked them over, and they're step by step recipes, like the others on their site. The trifood website has more information about dwenjang and the recipe itself. They definitely seem like how my mom makes her dwenjang jjigae (I'm Korean).

Hope that helps, good luck with the recipes!
