Adding Water to Soups with Meat

We love almost everything with 'sabaw', right? One of the few favorites of mine - bulalo, sinigang, tinola. What else?!? As long as it's 'sinabawan'. :-)
Here's one tip in adding water to your soup menu, when you think it's not enough.
When making soup with meat in the stock pot and you need to add more water, add COLD water, not hot water. Hot water can toughen the meat.
So if you don't want to wait forever, use cold. :-)
