Laswa (Vegetable Soup) Recipe

Prepare a small pot and layer the vegetables in this order: squash at the bottom, then patola, okra, eggplant, sitaw, half of the fish sauce, saluyot, onions, tomatoes, garlic, shrimp, and the rest of the fish sauce.

Gently pour water into the pot, along the sides of the pan. Place the pot over medium heat, covered. Once it boils, lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are cooked to desired doneness. Season to taste. Serve warm.
