Tinola is technically known as soup. It could be fish or chicken or pork or even seafoods like shrimps or squid, or whatever you fancy that is fresh.. Here in the Philippines, there are very many ways to make soup, but Tinola is one that prevails and is easy to make.. The ingredients are readily available anywhere, so it won't be much of a problem.

Here are two ways for you to do so...

This first one is frying the fish, or anything you choose, first before putting into the boiling water..

fry in low heat, with just a little oil

You can either fry it first or have a coating-- it depends on your liking..

dredge the fish first in flavored flour,

The other way is to have water boiling first, then drop fresh fish, chicken or whatever you like, directly into the pot.. Have it flavored and add leafy greens..

Another way to cook tinola or the soup known to many in Mindanao and Visayas as Sabaw Bisaya, is simply vegetables cooked in boiled water, with no meat whatsoever.. Still, it is good for the body..
