Crock Pot Sinigang – A Fusion Filipino Soup in a Slow Cooker

Last week, my entire household came down with the flu. We were tired, achy, and in need of some good old comfort food. And for us, that is sinigang, a Filipino soup that is sour and salty and filled with tender pork and hearty vegetables.

I love using my crockpot to make this soup because it requires very little preparation (which is a relief since I used to spend hours checking on a simmering pot of soup). Here I also provide a list of substitutions because not all the ingredients are easy to find in North America.

I’m going to have to try this. Some of these ingredients I’ve never heard of but I’ll look online to see if I can snag them! Nothing like a good soup when your feeling under the weather!
