Best Filipino Soup Recipes For A Comforting Meal
Are you ready to bring something new to the table? These excellent Filipino soups don’t only taste phenomenal but can also review your spirit and chase away fatigue.
1. Bulalo (Filipino Beef Marrow Soup)
Bulalo is, without a doubt, one of the most-loved Filipino dishes of all time. In essence, it’s a light-colored soup made with bone marrow and beef shank, hence the name. Other common ingredients like pechay leaves, cabbages, and yellow corn are also used to elevate the flavors.
As always, the main attraction of Bulalo is the marrow inside its bone that wonderfully enriches the soup. It’s so hearty, full-bodied, and beefy that it can warm you up from head to toe when it’s cold outside.
2. Sinigang Na Baboy (Pork Sinigang)
Sinigang translates to “stew dish,” while “Baboy” means pork. Therefore, pork baby back ribs are simmered in a tamarind-based broth, tons of vegetables, and the touch of fish sauce’s terrific flavor to create the delightful Sinigang Na Baboy.
It’s easy to tell why this soup is a national favorite. Flavor-wise, it gives off the perfect balance of sour and savory taste, which mostly comes from tamarind. Sinigang pairs well with a bowlful of rice on the rice and a light, tasty Filipino dessert to round it out.
What I like about this soup is its versatility. You can use any cut of pork and toss in some other vegetables to create a plethora of variations that suit your palate.
3. Filipino Cocido
If you’re hoping to make your diet extra nutritious, Filipino Cocido is your ultimate answer. Adapted from Spanish cuisine, this palatable soup has quickly risen to the top soup dishes in the Philippines, thanks to its delightful flavor and easy preparation process.
The one thing that sets Cocido apart from any other is saba bananas (a banana cultivator native to the Philippines), which give the soup a hint of sweetness without any starchiness.
As a standalone meal, Cocido is a nourishing and fulfilling meal that can satisfy anyone that’s around the table. Light, warming, and refreshing, this winter comfort soup is good for chilly days.
4. Arroz Caldo (Filipino Chicken & Rice Soup)
Do you love a thick soup minus the extra calories? If that’s a yes, I present the famous Arroz Caldo. Although its name is a Spanish word that means “hot rice,” this tasty Filipino chicken delight is much influenced by the Chinese congee.
Essentially, Arroz Caldo consists of chicken meat and stock, rice, and onions. The flavor is far from bland, with an excellent heat of ginger and the creamy, thick texture that makes every bite melts in your mouth.
Create the Filipino version of Arroz Caldo in a flash!
5. Pancit Molo (Filipino Pork & Dumpling Soup)
Another Filipino classic with Chinese influences, Pancit Molo, owns its origin in the town of Molo in the region of Iloilo. Rather than traditional noodles, this recipe calls for meaty moto balls cooked with chicken, ground meat, and an array of condiments.
The result is a beautiful dish with layers of flavors: savory, meaty, super-rich, and additional sweetness. A piping-hot bowlful of Pancit Molo will fill your stomach and soothe your soul on any day! Read More…
