fish

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while canned tuna is budget-friendly.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk lowers calories, and evaporated milk is often less expensive.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers similar acidity, and vinegar is a cost-effective substitute.

hot pepper sauce

🥗Healthier: salsa

💰Cheaper: chili powder

Salsa adds flavor with fewer calories, while chili powder is a budget-friendly spice.

Chop half of a small pumpkin, 3 large English potatoes, half of a medium onion, half of a small sweet potato, half of a small yam, and half of a small yellow sweet pepper into bite-sized pieces.

In a saucepan, add half of the chopped pumpkin and half a cup of yellow split peas.

Season with salt, 3/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika.

Add the chopped onion and bouquet garni to the saucepan.

Cook the pumpkin and split peas until the pumpkin disintegrates and adds flavor to the soup.

Once the pumpkin is cooked, add the remaining chopped pumpkin, 3 edos, half of a small sweet potato, half of a small yam, and 3 large English potatoes to the pot.

Add the fish steaks to the pot.

Crush some of the pumpkin against the sides of the saucepan to thicken the broth if it looks thin.

Add the dumplings just before the soup is finished cooking.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as necessary.
