For students on a budget and on a diet (without necessarily wanting to eat nothing), Jollibee’s new line of soups are like manna from heaven.  I’ve always been a big soup nut and I can’t really remember when Jollibee included sopas (macaroni soup, pictured above) and sotanghon (a noodle soup with thin glass noodles) on the menu but I was really happy when they did that.  You can get the soup on its own for 27 pesos or as an add-on to your meal for 25 pesos.  I haven’t tried the sotanghon yet because I don’t really like sotanghon, but the macaroni soup is well worth the price.  It’s got a creamy base, which makes the soup rather filling, and they don’t scrimp on the macaroni, carrots, and meat either.  The sopas is also very flavorful, but I suppose you can attribute that to the MSG.  If you’ve got a small appetite, or are trying to cultivate a small appetite, the macaroni soup alone will keep your tummy quiet for the next few hours.  Just try not to order their extremely crunchy Crispy Fries or their ice cream if you want to maintain that diet.
