Relax and get cozy with a tummy warming dish to combat a storm of stress and worries to come.

Soup, dating back in history was first advertised as the cure to physical exhaustion, for reasons such as giving a comforting allure to one’s senses, either pre-empted by the aroma of spices or the boiling of stock, or it could be the simple yet attractive presentation, but the taste of the seasoned warm liquid is what we relish most of all.

Thick or clear, soups are a staple in every restaurant served as starters and sometimes listed as their main dishes. Below are our soup recommendations for every discerning palate.

Corned Beef Sinigang – Sentro 1771

A culinary twist on the Filipino sampaloc (tamarind) stew having cooked chunks of corned beef rather than the usual meat. Together with short ribs and vegetables, it is served in a palayok (clay pot) with a candle underneath to maintain its’ warmth, with the sourness of the soup adjusted to one’s liking by offering a taste test after placing an order.

Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen – Ramen Yushoken

Creamy pork broth with a sweet taste at the end had several clamoring in line for this ramen. The garlic bits and sesame seeds improved its’ taste all the more, while one slurps on the chewy noodles and on munching pork slices.

Tinola – Sabao Filipino Soup Bar

Chicken simmered in ginger, chili with malunggay leaves and wedges of green papaya are the makings of Sabao’s version of Tinola that’s kept simple and unpretentious. It is preferably advisable for those suffering colds, though eating it regardless if you’re sick or not, is still a win-win situation.

French Onion Soup – T.G.I. Friday’s

One of the popular appetizers of the restaurants remains so because of it’s ever surprising texture of the bread’s chewiness, creaminess of the cheese on top and the well-seasoned taste of the caramelized onions mixed with white wine and mustard – which sure is a mouthful.

Chicken Chowder – The Soup Kitchen

Nothing beats our first love for any chicken soup, whether it be a clear or in thick consistency, the rich and mild flavor, loaded with chicken chunks is an all-around goodness in a bowl – in this case, a bread bowl.

Congee – Tim Ho Wan

Keeping things simple, Tim Ho Wan’s take on the famed Asian rice porridge is added with lean meat, century and salted eggs for extra taste. It is already satisfying enough for a meal but to best enjoy it, order side dishes to get a longer dining experience.

Spicy Noodles – Caution Hot

Others like it warm, however for this restaurant, it’s always hot, hot, HOT! A fair warning is already given as their name suggests, but who isn’t up for a spicy noodle challenge that’s mouthwatering and filling all the same.
