One of My Favorite Pinoy Soup Recipe- Bulalo

Bulalo is a traditional Filipino soup made with beef shank, including the bone marrow. This hearty dish is known for its rich and savory broth, which is slowly simmered to extract deep flavors from the meat and bones. Typically, the soup includes vegetables such as corn on the cob and cabbage. Bulalo is especially popular in the cooler regions of the Philippines, where its warmth and comforting qualities are particularly cherished. Soup Lovers Servings: 4
