Lite Alternatives: Healthy Choices that are Light on the Budget

Lite Soups

Soups are a great way to start a meal, but these soups can be enjoyed any time of the day.

The cheapest soup I found is the Vegetable Pasta Soup of Greenwich Pizza.  At P29.00/bowl you get this tomato-based soup with macaroni, carrots, potatoes and flakes of parsley.

Little Asia’s Pumpkin and Carrot Soup is pumpkin puree, carrots, and non-fat yogurt.  Priced at P125.00, meant for 2 servings, it is affordable and tasty.

Pho Hoa is popular for their Hot and Sour Soup, or as they call it, Canh Chua Tom.  With a large sized bowl, a group of three to four people can enjoy rice noodles in a clear soup with tomatoes, pineapples, and prawns at P240.00.
