Filipino Soups

Batchoy - a soup made with a variety of pork meats; some use pork kidneys, spleen, innards and liver, topped with crushed chicharon and sliced boiled egg. In the Visayas region, batchoy is flavored with guinamos (fish paste), while Ilocanos use gamet (Ilocanos’ nori).

Binakol - an Ilonggo soup made with chicken, ginger, coconut meat and flavored with lemongrass simmered in coconut water. According to locals, it is better cooked in coconut shells or a bamboo container.


Bulalo - a very flavorful soup made with beef kneecap and cartilage boiled for hours. According to bulalo addicts, they love eating this soup and tapping the bones to get the marrow.
