Why Manchow Soup Makes a Great Evening Snack 

The 5 PM hunger can be tricky. 

You may not be hungry enough for a full meal, but you still want something satisfying. This is often when packaged snacks, biscuits or fried foods become the easiest option. 

A vegetable-rich soup can be a much more nourishing alternative. 

This recipe combines: 

• Vegetables for fibre, colour and micronutrients  
• Prolicious UP It! for whole-food protein and fibre  
• Ginger, garlic and spices for flavour  
• A small amount of oil for cooking  
• Cornflour for the characteristic Manchow texture  
• Soy sauce and vinegar for that familiar Indo-Chinese taste  

The result is a warm, flavourful snack that feels comforting without needing to be complicated.

Why Add Protein to Your 5 PM Snack? 

Protein is not just something you need at breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

Including a protein source in your snacks can make them more nutritionally balanced and may help you feel satisfied between meals. 

Instead of thinking of your evening snack as something you eat simply to "control hunger," think of it as another opportunity to add useful nutrients to your day. 

A bowl of regular vegetable soup can be delicious, but adding a scoop of whole-food protein enhancer makes it more substantial. 

And because UP It! is made from whole-food ingredients such as moong and low-fat peanut flour, it can be incorporated into everyday foods without turning your snack into a complicated protein recipe. 

Easy Ways to Customise It 

Want more vegetables? 

Add baby corn, broccoli, spinach, sweet corn or extra mushrooms. 

Want it spicier? 

Increase the green chilli or add a little chilli sauce. 

Want it more filling? 

Serve it alongside a small portion of whole-grain toast, a protein-rich sandwich or another balanced snack. 

Want a lighter version? 

Skip the crispy fried noodles. The soup has enough flavour and texture from the vegetables. 

Don't have the exact vegetables? 

Don't worry. 

Manchow soup is wonderfully flexible. Use whatever vegetables are available in your refrigerator. The key is to chop them finely so they cook quickly and blend well into the soup.
