Jaecheopguk (Korean pronunciation: [tɕɛtɕʰʌp̚k͈uk]) is a clear Korean soup made with small freshwater clams called jaecheop (재첩, Corbicula leana). It is a local specialty of the Gyeongsang Province where jaecheop are harvested, such as the lower reaches of Nakdong River, and river basins around Gimhae, Myeongji, Eumgung, and Hadan counties[1] as well as places near the Suyeong River in Busan and the Seomjin River.[2]

Jaecheop guk is made by boiling cleaned jaecheop, buchu (부추, garlic chives) and scallions cut in about 6 or 7 cm lengths, and minced garlic. The soup is seasoned with salt and eaten as a haejangguk (soup used as a remedy for hangovers).[3] It is also available as a packaged product.[4]
