Utan

Easy to prepare and packed with healthy vegetables, utan is a famous Filipino soup which originated in Visayan Islands. This clear vegetable soup was originally a poor man’s dish, which included any vegetables that were at hand. Nowadays, it can also include a wide variety of root vegetables and leafy greens which are merely cooked in salted water.

Occasionally, this nutritious soup can be enriched with chunks of meat or pieces of fried fish. Even though it originated as a frugal dish, today it is regarded as an extremely healthy soup that is typically prepared in many Filipino households.
