Eating these soups will help you comfort your soul on a rainy day!

We often find food that comforts our soul, when all we want to do is be cozy on our soft bed while cuddling our pillows or read books, binge-watch our favorite movies, TV shows, or series, listen to music while watching the rain pour, or cook our favorite food that could warm our souls. We often go back to the familiar taste of home and childhood. As rainy days are on the run, soup has become one of the things that can help lift our spirits.

The most vital piece is that you cheer yourself up by nourishing your body with delectable food that calms both your spirit and your mind while the flavor lingers in your mouth. The perfect time to curl up with your favorite book, listen to your favorite music, and watch your favorite movies or television series is on a dreary day. You won’t need a companion or a group to share this experience with you to appreciate this food because it will take you back to your childhood.

It also brings you back to your elementary days as you fall in line to have a sip of hot creamy macaroni soup with your classmates. Although it can be enjoyed any time on any day. This dish is best served hot or warm to savor the tasty flavor of creamy chicken broth.

SINIGANG

Sinigang is considered to be one of the most popular dishes because it is almost always present at the table. We always have a craving for sinigang, especially on rainy days, and we frequently ask our mother or grandmother to bring their signature sinigang to the table. This craving exists regardless of the weather. Rice is the perfect complement to the heady scent of freshly chopped vegetables as well as the blissful taste or sourness of the soup. This definitely smells like home.

LUGAW

One of the most well-known foods that we yearn for. We often eat Lugaw on a cold day or when we are sick. This rice porridge is quite popular. It is elevated to an even higher level of delectability when topped with boiled egg and chicharon. You will definitely get out of bed, no matter how lazy the cold weather makes you.
