Soup-er!

One of the changes that happened the past months in our community is that the neighbors get to interact more. 

The past few years, everyone was so busy with their own work and lives that we didn’t really know who our neighbors were, much less talk to them or get to know them. But starting 2nd quarter of 2020, everyone started going out and getting to know each other more.

When mid-year came along, it felt that the compound was more of a community, with everyone greeting each other, asking about each other, spending afternoons in the common areas catching up (with face masks and social distancing), and asking if anyone needs help with anything.

Also, people started being more neighborly. Nowadays, it’s common for neighbors to share food with other neighbors. For no reason at all. Just because.

One of them, a Bicolana who lives a few units away, makes this yummy Korean inspired soup with so many good stuff inside! It’s her own recipe that she loves sharing with Mom and me whenever she cooks it.

The soup tastes good as it looks. It’s very hearty and flavorful, and it’s good on its own, or as a side dish for one of Mom’s signature viands.

It’s super how everyone is now nicer these days.
