I love Thai food, it always seems healthier than Chinese, not as oily and gloopy, with lots of fresh zingy ingredients and high impact flavours.
This fish soup recipe is light in calories, but full on taste! Lots of flavour to get your taste buds tingling, but so light you can fit this in your calorie budget, whichever plan you are following.
