Personally, I am a pluviophile, so it is never a problem when it rains. It actually lightens my mood. Bt of course, what comes with that is my craving for a soup to sip that can further improve the production of serotonin.
I compiled a list of Pinoy soups so that we can all enjoy the rain when it comes.

Chicken Mami Noodle Soup
Chicken Mami Noodle Soup is made of egg noodles, chicken broth, pieces of sliced chicken, cabbage, fried garlic, and green onions. The preparation of the broth is the key to this dish. All you need is a lot of chicken bones and you should use freshly made egg noodles, instead of the preserved or dried ones.
Arroz Caldo
Arroz Caldo, best represents the mixture of Filipino heritage, combining Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino flavors. The use of chicken and cut into individual servings makes it different from other congees. Some also add Chicharon, Saffron to give it color. Toasted garlic and scallions are added to enhance the flavor, and aroma of the dish.
