Sinampalukan

Sinampalukan is a type of Filipino soup that is made with chicken and tamarind. Chicken is cooked in water with onions, garlic, and peppercorns until it becomes tender. Then, tamarind is added to the soup to give it a sour taste. This soup is usually served hot with rice and sometimes with boiled egg or green vegetables. Imagine having a sick day and your mom makes you feel all better with a warm soup that has chicken and a bit of sourness, just like that! That's sinampalukan!
