My parents made this soup often when I was a kid. Chicken and rice soup. Lots of ginger and onions. Wonderful on a cold winter day (or cool, gray overcast autumn afternoon like today). Why is this an "amphibious" blog posting? Two reasons - the Philippines is an immense archipelago so anything from there (including this recipe, and the hands that made it) is amphibious; and the last time I ate some on a cold day was on board an LCM anchored off the coast of San Clemente island - night diving training in cold California water. Nothing warms the soul better than soup like this.
