My mom used to boil soups every day.

Hence, it has become a habit that I had to boil soup of the day almost daily.

Mom used to tell me that soup helps to lighten up the white rice which is plain and sticky.

In addition, we need not drink any water or beverages when there is a bowl of soup that comes as a side dish for us during meal time.

Yesterday, we had Carrot potato soup for dinner.

It is very easy to prepare this dish.

Just chopped carrots, potatoes and stock or water.

You can have it meatless or with chicken carcass.

So, what is your soup of the day?

What is your favorite soup?

@peachpurple The weather is extremely hot here these days. All we want during this hot weather is something cold and chilled to drink, so soups are out of the question for now. Chilled buttermilk is an integral part of our meals nowadays.

Mine is soup no. 5. Anything has reminded you about this soup. I like this soup. It is not only too tasty, but it is too nutritious. We as males consider this our favorite. This soup is made from bull’s testes or penis. Why we love this soup number five for it gives us the sexual drive. It arouses our resistance to sex activities. Filipinos do love this soup. As they drink late in the afternoon, they usually order this as their “sumsuman” or appetizer as they drink.

OUCH !

I didn’t know that bulls genitals can be eaten, but really, does this genitals really enhance your sex drive at night?

This is indeed an unique soup that I had ever heard of.

So, only the males are allowed to drink and eat this?

Not available in Malaysia.

Instead, the males drink Tongkat Ali, a herbal drink to enhance their sexual drive just like Viagra

OIC, the weather is hot in your country. No wonder.

Yes, cold and chilled beverage would be nice and cooling.

Here, the weather is turning cold, had been raining and sometimes cloudy but no sun, a warm bowl of soup would be comforting for the tummies

@nakitakona13 I know that soup but I haven’t tasted it. Does females can able to have that soup? It seems that soup is only for males. They said that it is spicy or chili, of course when they put chili on it.

@peachpurple the soup you have looks mouth watering. I only love soup from sinigang. Sinigang is usually sour soup. I love sour foods.

I do not think that I could eat animal genitals. I think I will pass on that soup of the day. I am not much of a soup person but I do like chicken noodle and cream of broccoli. I will sometimes make a soup with leftover chicken and rice. My mom used to take left over beef roast and cut it in chunks and cook it in beef broth with egg noodles. I loved that.

@ peachpurple  It rained here in the morning. So the weather is a bit pleasant today. During this hot weather, we consume traditional drinks like buttermilk, shikanjawi, lime water, aam pana etc. which are cool and refreshing.

Soup is a good source of healthy living, though i don’t like soup as such it has never been a favorite but when i am offered i do take and it should be spicy for me to take it otherwise i can’t swallow it. the soup that i don’t like is the tomato soup i don’t like the taste.

The best ever and simplest way to prepared that I had tasted is the pounded white beans and poured into the pan and sprinkled with salt. I had seen and tasted this when still working in the isolated place in my country. It was freshly harvested from the farmland of locals.

I just have introduced chicken feet soup as I am told it has health properties specially for joints and ligaments.

The chicken feet are pressure cooked with sufficient water and the soup extracted. The cooked feet are given to Preiti.

To the soup a good amount of tomatoes are added and cooked till tomatoes are done. The soup is then strained for removing tomato skins. Enough pepper abd sakt is added and then garnished with onions fried in ghee.

We only have either chicken or fish soup every dinner. In the morning small rice/ or bread/ friend rice, plus viand of our preference, but no soup. Every Sunday we cook beef stew and we gather around the dining table happily and perspired eating hahaha.

There is a well known American soup company and they have promoted their products for many years by saying “Soup is good food.”  I agree.  My favorite soup must have a dark green leafy vegetable, a clear and tasty broth, chicken or sausage chunks, and some kind of beans – red beans, black beans, etc. or black eye peas.  Also, I like most of all of the Asian noodle soups, no matter what the recipe variation is.  Ever been to a Soup Party?  🙂
