Prawns in Tamarind Soup (Sinigang na Sugpo)


By Recipes and Reviews | Sassy Chef (Visit website)






On cold and rainy nights when the warmth of the kitchen fire is so welcoming, a hot and steamy bowl of soup makes everything just right. Tamarind soup is used as a base for sinigang, a dish so popular in the Philippines that it is present in every little canteen that you come into. It has a lot of varieties, but my favorite one is large prawns (sugpo) and vegetables cooked in tamarind soup. Other variations call for pork, milkfish, and taro roots. Sometimes, they just make vegetable sinigang, where the only ingredients put in are water spinach, tomatoes, eggplants, and string beans. The broth is a bit salty with just the right sourness that is sure to hit the spot and increase your appetite even more.
