CHOCOLATE SOUP AKA CHAMPORADO

My son has been begging me to cook his favorite chocolate soup.  Well my kids call champorado chocolate soup.  I should say it's more of like a chocolate porridge.  Champorado main ingredients are glutinous rice and cocoa powder.

I usually cook this for breakfast but you can also serve it as a snack.  In the Philippines they eat it with salted dried fish (tuyo) but I haven't tried it.  

Ingredients:

1 cup glutinous rice

5 cups water

5 tbsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup sugar

Evaporated milk (optional)

Procedure:

1. Pour 4 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil

2. Put-in the glutinous rice and allow water to re-boil for a few minutes

3. Dilute the cocoa powder in 1 cup warm water then pour-in the pot. Stir continuously.

4. Once the glutinous rice is cooked (about 12 to 18 minutes of cooking with constant stirring), add the sugar and cook for another 5 minutes or until the texture becomes a bit thick.

5. Remove from the pot and place in a serving bowl.

It is always a hit dish in our family....here's the evidence:
