People for centuries have been boiling and simmering soup. It has stood the test of time and has been a large part of cooking history. It is undeniable that a hot bowl of soup can do wonders for the body and soul.

My mom, who has taught the top caterers, hotel and restaurant owners and is a consultant for numerous food companies, always told me that Filipinos judge an establishment by the rice it serves, and they feel great if one does not scrimp on the quality of rice.
