Did You Know Why Filipinos Love Soup? - Video

Did you know in the Philippines, many meals don’t feel complete without soup?

Filipinos love sabaw not just for taste—but for culture and practicality.

First, the Philippines has a hot and humid climate.
Soup helps replace fluids and makes meals easier to eat, especially with rice.

Second, sabaw makes food go further.
A small amount of meat or vegetables can feed the whole family when there’s soup—something important in Filipino households.

Third, sabaw means comfort.
When someone is sick, tired, or homesick, Filipinos turn to dishes like sinigang or tinola. The soup feels like care in a bowl.
