This special nilaga recipe is brought to you by my partnership with Maggi. All opinions are my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing says Filipino holiday comfort quite like Nilagang Pasko. This boiled soup is slow-cooked to tenderness, combining a plethora of meat, sausages, vegetables, and a hot broth. Hearty and flavorful, It\u2019s like a warm hug in a bowl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nilagang Pasko, which translates to \"boiled Christmas,\" is a variation of the classic nilaga<\/a><\/em> but with holiday flavors. While it's seen today as a symbol of Filipino hospitality and love for hearty meals and is traditionally prepared during the Christmas season as a centerpiece for festive gatherings, this heritage dish originated in Bulacan as food for household helpers and workers. It was born from unwanted meat scraps and leftovers after the masters of the house have cherry-picked the prime cuts and best ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like cocido<\/a>, this soup recipe is a great way to use leftovers from Noche Buena, such as ham and roasted chicken, and sides like boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, and beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
