About Nilaga soup

Nilaga is a traditional Filipino soup known for its comforting simplicity and hearty ingredients. It typically features tender chunks of beef or pork, simmered with bone marrow or ribs for a rich, flavorful broth. The soup is loaded with vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, carrots, and pechay (Filipino bok choy), making it a nutrient-dense meal. Variations may include corn on the cob and green beans for added texture and sweetness. Originating from the Philippines, Nilaga is loved for its wholesome, home-cooked appeal. It's a great source of protein from the meat and provides essential vitamins and fiber from the vegetables. However, the soup can be high in saturated fats, depending on the meat cut used. To keep it healthier, leaner meats can be chosen, and the fat skimmed from the broth. Nilaga is best enjoyed as a filling yet balanced dish, perfect for a nourishing family meal.
