One of the easiest and tastiest soup that my husband and I love is Ginulay na Mais (Corn Soup). It is best to pair with fried or grilled dishes or just with plain white steamed rice.
My brother and sister-in-law invited us for a lunch last weekend. I requested my brother to grill pork for us. Yes, I am spoiled :) And he requested atsara in return. Well, I did prepare atsara to bribe him for the grilled pork but I also prepared Ginulay na Mais sauteed with pork and garnished with malunggay, which I think is perfect for grilled pork. Aside from it is easy to prepare of course, I knew that my husband would love it also.
I remember how my mom or grandmother usually prepares their corn for ginulay. It is finely grated which makes the soup very thick. I like it but I also like to have something that I can chew. That is why I mixed whole corn kernel and grated corn in this recipe. I love it when they put squash leaves and flowers (dahon at bulaklak ng kalabasa) but unfortunately, we don't have it here in UAE so I used malunggay which works great also :)
If you prefer not to add pork or meat, it is definitely fine. It will still be delicious with plain vegies :)
