Hello, It's been a long time and I wasn't able to create content to share in this friendly, generous, kind, and very supportive community. I am very busy lately because of so many workshops, conferences, and school activities. After our Provincial Meet 2023, we were given a chance to have 1 day of rest. Thanks to this, I found time to craft this content so I can share with you my very simple recipe prepared during the sports meet to nourish our athletes and the whole delegation of our municipality. This recipe is Vegetable Soup or Utan Bisaya. I included this menu in their meal plan since the vegetable is considered natural vitamin supplement. This is just very simple and easy to prepare. I think all of us were already experts in preparing Vegetable Soup. But if you want to know how I prepared my Vegetable Soup here's how.

Ingredients

  1. 20.00 pesos squash
  2. 2 pcs. talong or eggplant
  3. 6 pcs. okra or ladies' finger
  4. 1 pc. cucumber
  5. 2 pcs. gabi
  6. 1 bundle alugbte(spinach)
  7. 1 small bundle of malunggay leaves
  8. Lemon grass
  9. (monosodium glutamate)optional
  10. salt.

When the vegetable soup was done, we called our athletes for dinner. Thankful that they just like it because most of our youngsters nowadays didn't like to eat vegetable soup. But as I noticed them they loved eating and that they had a full stomach.

As for me, vegetable soup is one of my favorite foods served in any meal of the day. Preparing this daily and including it in our daily diet makes our bodies strong and healthy.

Classic vegetable meal for the locals of Cebu! The first time I cooked Utan Bisaya, I overcooked the talong and squash! 😂 But this food is just rich with nutrients because of the variety of vegetables that its made from.

It must not overcook. If possible after adding leaves we will. not cover it to maintain the green color of the leafy vegetables and to smell good. Thank you @indayclara.

I might try this one! Hirap na hirap na kami to think of what to cook for the day. The recipe is quite easy and available lahat sa mini mart dito. Btw aside from this veggie soup may suggested ka ba na kaparter na fish or meat? Mukhang masarap siya sa pritong fish.
