Suam Filipino Corn Soup
Suam is a simple sauté of garlic, onions, and corn, then boiled in rice wash and finished with malunggay (moringa leaves), making this soup flavorful. Often, meat, such as pork or chicken, is included but skipped during the Lenten season. Then, grilled fish would be a protein substitute.
