Soup Number Five, variously spelled Soup No. 5 or Soup #5, is a soup made from bull's testes[1][2] or penis.[3] The dish originates from Filipino cuisine. It is believed to have aphrodisiac properties.[3] In recent times, it has become increasingly hard to find in the Philippines. For example, in Manila, it is only found in a few eateries in the district of Chinatown.[4]

Regional appellation

Cebu's variant of Soup Number Five is called lansiao[5] and is a popular street dish. Its name 'lansiao' was adapted from Chinese descendants who speak Hokkien dialects, of which 𡳞鳥 ('lanciao' in Hokkien) means male's genitals.
