Batsui is a Kapampangan-style soup made from pork and organ meats, macaroni, and ginger-flavored broth. It’s hearty, tasty, and perfect for cold weather!

If you’re looking for a hearty bowl of batchoy, then, my friend, you’ve come to the right place. With three recipes of this soup on the blog, I’ve got your cravings covered. 🙂

Types of Batchoy

Although these regional versions are similar in the use of pork and organ meats, a few key ingredients give them their distinct flavor.

  • La Paz Bachoy-uses fresh miki noodles and broth is seasoned with fresh shrimp paste. Served with toppings of chicharon, fried garlic bits, and raw egg.
  • Batchoy Tagalog-includes pork blood, miswa noodles, and chili leaves. The broth is flavored with ginger and fish sauce.
  • Kapampangan Batchoy-has macaroni or miswa noodles and broth is seasoned with ginger and fish sauce. Served with chopped green onions.

Tips on How to Make Batsui

  • When buying from the wet markets, just ask for pang-batsui which is a mix of lomo (pork tenderloin), bato (kidney), lapay or kundilat (pancreas), and atay (liver).
  • Don’t skimp on the ginger. Not only does this aromatic the base flavor, but it also helps temper the malodor of organ meats.
  • Miswa can be used in place of macaroni, but you might have to adjust the amount of water as these fragile noodles tend to absorb more liquid.
  • For a clearer broth, use hot water.
  • Batchoy is best served freshly cooked as the macaroni or miswa gets mushy when reheated. If planning to store for the next day, cook the noodles separately and add to the soup when ready to serve.
  • We like to top the soup with chopped green onions, but feel free to swap fresh chili leaves for more texture and color. Add during the last minute and cook just until limp.

How to Serve Batchoy

This hearty soup is delicious and filling on its own, but also makes a great main dish with steamed rice. We like to eat it at home with pandesal for breakfast. Yummy!
