Gut-and-Heart-Warming Soups - 1


Good morning to all! Let me share with you now about soup. Everybody prepared soup in every meal. Sometimes we have a hard time to think what kind of soup we want to prepare. My this article might help you to complete your meal.

When the rains start coming we think of ways to avoid, or at least outsmart, the hassles that come along with them, to get home dry and in good spirits. When traffic is at a stand-still, and worse, flood threatens to soak the vehicle’s carpet, we can only dream of piping hot soups and the welcome warmth of our homes and beds.

Soups have always been the quick cure for flagging dispositions or even colds and fever. This has been so since our mothers’ time and their mothers’ before them. Soupy dishes not only warm the gut, but melt the hearts as well. Somehow the vision of piping hot molo or chicken sotanghon soup ca have family rushing home to mama’s cooking.

We all have our favorite family soup, with fond and fun memories to match them and we find ourselves longing for it or preparing it not only when it rains, but also when we need some from of encouragement or comfort from the day’s stresses.

The Julius Maggi Kitchen features some of these hearty soups that may yet replace or enhance the family repertoire of culinary comforts. In rich, Asian flavors one finds only in special restaurants, these recipes have been simplified and modified to suit the Filipino taste, and to make use of locally available ingredients.
