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]
