Authentic Soup No.5

Soup no. 5 recipe is a well known filipino soup recipe in the Philippines, while this filipino soup recipe is popular among us filipino I could still consider this beef recipe as an exotic food for using rams testicle and penis as the main meat ingredient. Filipinos has a belief that soup # 5 has an aphrodisiac effect and they also have a lot of variation for cooking soup number 5 and I have my own way too because I prefer the taste of soup no. 5 I tasted on pares inMetro Manila. The difference with their soup no.5 is that they include chinese herbs as additional chinese flavour to their soup aside from that they prepare it with a thickened sauce. Anyway, if you like to taste my own soup version just follow my step by step procedure.
