How to consume vegetable soup (home recipe) without glucose spikes

Include Protein

Add a source of protein to your vegetable soup, like chicken, turkey, tofu, or legumes such as lentils or beans. Protein can help slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Fiber Content

Use high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, spinach, kale, or Brussels sprouts. Fiber can slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Avoid Added Sugars

Ensure that your soup doesn’t contain added sugars, which can cause glucose spikes. Use natural herbs and spices for flavor instead.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of your soup. Even healthy foods can lead to spikes if consumed in large quantities.

Add Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your soup. Vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Low-Carb Thickeners

Instead of using flour or starch to thicken your soup, try using pureed vegetables or a small amount of chia seeds.

Pair with a Balanced Meal

Consume your soup as part of a balanced meal that includes other macronutrients, such as a small serving of whole grains or legumes.

Cook Vegetables Al Dente

Avoid overcooking vegetables, which can break down their fibers and increase their impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to the timing of your meals. Consuming smaller meals more frequently can help manage blood sugar levels better.
