What is this food?
Mungbean soup with shrimp (often called munggo soup). It’s a light, protein-forward soup made from mung beans and shrimp, usually served warm as a meal or a filling snack.
Why it matters to health
This soup is a good choice for everyday eating because it provides plant protein (from mung beans) plus lean protein (from shrimp). The dietary fiber helps you feel full and supports healthy digestion. It also has some carbohydrates for energy, but it’s not heavy. On the nutrition side, it’s relatively low in calories per 100g, but it can still be higher in sodium (180 mg per 100g) depending on how it’s seasoned, so it’s best to watch portion and seasoning. The fat is low overall, though it includes a bit of saturated fat and cholesterol from shrimp—fine when balanced with other foods across the day.
Healthier tips
- For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), use this soup as part of your lunch or dinner, and pair it with a small serving of brown rice or whole-grain carbs if you need more energy.
- Keep the soup flavorful without going overboard on salty ingredients—use less bagoong/seasoning or add herbs and aromatics for taste.
- Watch portion: start with about 1–1.5 cups per serving, then adjust based on your hunger and your other meals.
- If you’re adding vegetables, include more non-starchy veggies (like pechay, sayote, or spinach) to boost fiber and micronutrients.
