The rainy season is almost here and every Filipino household will have their own version of this favorite stew/soup to ward of the rainy blues. My babe has been in the hospital since Tuesday and had surgery, poor baby wanted the comfort of a good Sinigang, so I obliged. This can also be made with beef and different kinds of fish instead of pork, and vegetables added depend on what might be in season. We Pinoy's love our sour soup.
