This is a calming sour soup recipe that you can do with galunggong (also known as the blue mackerel scad, round scad or short fin scad). Usually pan-fried is the simplest and easiest way of cooking this, simply sprinkle salt before cooking, but it also has a potential with soup recipes, specially the sour one. Kamias (bilimbi fruit) a naturally sour fruit was used in this recipe, together with tomato slices and spring onion really made this soup flavorful. This recipe is rich in B vitamins, vitamin C, protein, calcium, fiber etc.

Not spicy but it’s sour…
I used bilimbi fruit here (the taste is like a little bit of citrus fruit like calamansi or lime), to make it natural 💞
Thanks for dropping by, have a nice day 🌟
