Brenebon Soup (Manadonese and Dutch Bruine Bonen Soep)


Manadonese Bruine Bonen Soup

VEGAN recipe included.


This delicious soup is a staple soup in my house. This warm, delightful soup will lift your spirit and warm up your soul on the darkest nights of wintertime. It is a hearty soup, easy to make, rich, fulfilling, and is my favorite food that is so perfect for this season. This dish remained me home.


Brenebon is derived from traditional Dutch Bruine Bonen Soup and adapted by North Sulawesi people (Manado), an ethnic group from Indonesia. The name 'Brenebon' is the local pronounce of Bruine means brown, and Bonen means beans; it is made with brown beans and pork, beef, chicken, and my favorite one is smoked tuna. Brenebon ingredients are a little different from Dutch Bruine Bonen Soup; it has Nutmeg, cloves, chili, and pepper makes it more vibrant in taste.


For some reason, my mom likes to cook it with smoked fish and serve it on the weekend right after getting off from the church.

Although I was not too fond of it when I was growing up and now, I've grown to love it, and it's become my comfort food or whenever I missed home.
