Chicken soup

A bowl of Okroshka soup

This is a list of notable soups. Soups have been made since ancient times.

Some soups are served with large chunks of meat or vegetables left in the liquid, while a broth is a flavored liquid
usually derived from boiling a type of meat with bone, a spice mix, or a vegetable mix for a period of time in a stock. A
common type of broth is consomm, which are crystal clear broths or stock that have a full flavor, aroma, and body.

A potage is a category of thick soups, stews, or porridges, in some of which meat and vegetables are boiled together
with water until they form into a thick mush.

Bisques are heavy cream soups traditionally prepared with shellfish, but can be made with any type of seafood or other
base ingredients. Cream soups are a dairy based soup. Although they may be consumed on their own, or with a meal,
the canned, condensed form of cream soup is sometimes used as a quick sauce in a variety of meat and pasta
convenience food dishes, such as casseroles. Similar to a bisque, chowders are thick soups usually containing some
type of starch.

Coulis were originally meat juices, and now are thick pures.

Some soups are served only cold, and other soups can optionally be served cold.
10 Great Filipino Food on a Cold Day
Lugaw and Arroz Caldo
Lugaw is the Tagalog name for congee. Similar to
Cantonese-style congee, lugaw is typically thicker,
retaining the shape of the rice, but with a similar texture.

Arroz Caldo
The Spanish-influenced arroz caldo (an anglicisation of
caldo de arroz, literally "rice soup") is often thought to be a
European dish because of its name. Arroz caldo is actually
a Chinese congee that was adapted to the tastes of the
Spanish colonial settlers who patronised Chinese
restaurants in the Philippines.
 Bulalo
Probably the first Filipino dish in most Filipinos' minds to
look for on a cold or rainy day is bulalo, a Batangas
specialty. Although it can now be found and sold almost
anywhere in the metropolis, there are still a number of
loyal fans who seek out this dish in Batangas itself, where
it is served in small roadside shops and carinderias.

Champorado

When stuck inside the home on a particularly cold or

stormy day, nothing sends Filipinos into nostalgia of
childhood better than thoughts of warm champorado
served by their mothers.
 Batchoy
Hot soups are very welcome on a freezing day. They
warm the body up like no other food can, like Batchoy, a
noodle soup made with pork organs, crushed pork
cracklings, chicken stock, beef loin and round noodles.

Tinola
Although a common viand or accompaniment for rice for
main meals, tinola is the dish of choice to share some
warmth and comfort for families when the weather is
freezing.
 Pancit Molo
Another particularly tasty treat during gloomy weather is
Molo soup or or pancit molo. Served hot, this soup just
might be what one needs to lift one's spirits and body
temperature.

Sopas
Also known as macaroni soup, this dish also evokes
memories of childhood, as this uniquely adapted Filipino
dish is often cooked by mothers for their children on rainy
or cold days.
 Ginataang Halo-halo
Although ginataang halo-halo can be found all year
round, this traditional Filipino treat can be one of the best
things you'll ever have when served hot on a particularly
cold and/or rainy day.

Dinuguan
A welcome dish on a cold day is dinuguan. This unique,
delectable dish is a savory stew of meat and/or offal
(typically lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart and snout)
simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic,
chili (most often siling mahaba), and vinegar.
Sotanghon

A delightfully tasty soup Filipinos reserve for cold weather

is sotanghon. The main ingredient for this dish is a thin
noodle called sotanghon, which is similar to Vermicelli. Its
unique flavor comes from chicken and shrimp. Even
though many variations of the recipe exist, all are
welcomed by people looking for a warm, hearty meal on a
really cold day.
 Specialty soup in the Philippines
Sinigang
Sinigang is characterized by a sour taste owing to the tamarind broth from which pieces of pork, beef, chicken, or
seafood are cooked. Kangkong or water spinach and slices of radish are also thrown into the mix. Other souring
ingredients that can be used in place of tamarind are guava and miso.

Tinola
Tinola is made from chicken pieces cooked in a ginger-flavored broth along with slices of green papaya, chili, and
malunggay leaves.

Nilaga
Nilaga is typically a beef stew mixed with pieces of cabbage and potatoes. A variation of nilaga called bulalo, uses the
bone marrow instead of pieces of beef.

coconut water.
Batchoy
One of the most popular noodle dish in the Phillipines, batchoy is a soup thrown in with pork innards, pork cracklings,
chopped veggies, noodles, and topped with raw egg.
