Arroz Caldo or Lugaw

When I can't make this on my own strength. I would always ask my mother to cook this for me. And it would make me feel better after eating it. Its a great soup coz when my other senses are down i can always count on the salt and ginger to make my taste buds tingle. (sound's dirty). lol
