“My boyfriend—a Filipino-American—has a go-to request whenever he's feeling under the weather. It's the same request he makes of his mother whenever he flies home for a visit, no matter the status of his health: arroz caldo.”
, Yasmin Newman addresses the soup's status as a high-profile Philippine home remedy. She posits that arroz caldo's popularity as a curative comes from the mere fact that it's easier to swallow the soft, nourishing soup when plagued with a sore throat than it is the traditionally steamed or garlic-fried rice present on Filipino tables "from breakfast through to dinner." For the same reason, it's often given to Filipino babies when they begin eating solid foods.
And while Newman instructs that soaking the rice while preparing the remaining ingredients is sufficient, I'd be remiss if I didn't stress that my boyfriend's mother insists that it must be soaked overnight. You do you.won't cut it here—you need to poach chicken so you can use the poaching liquid later on in the dish.
