"Soup With You" is a story about my favorite childhood comfort food, which my mom called Òchicken sabawÓ (suh-baow; Tagalog for chicken soup). Although the recipe is simpleÑa scoop of white rice resting in a bowl of thin, golden chicken brothÑthe process of making and sharing soup stood out to me as an extraordinary act of love.
Chicken sabaw is a recipe thatÕs been passed down in my family for many years. By making, eating, and sharing this soup, I feel connected to all of my ancestors who have made chicken sabawÑitÕs part of us. "Soup With You" began as an exploration of family, simplicity, and good food. Over time, itÕs transformed into something IÕm proud to share with you today: a tribute to my favorite meal and a commemoration of those acts of love and care that nourish us.
