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

Incorporate More Fiber

Add ingredients high in fiber to your vegetable soup, such as lentils or beans, which can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg to your soup. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

If your recipe includes grains, opt for whole grain options such as barley or quinoa. These have a slower digestion rate, which can help prevent spikes.

Portion Control

Keep your serving sizes moderate. Eating smaller portions more frequently can help maintain steadier blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as olive oil or avocado. These can help slow the digestion process.

Choose Low-Starch Vegetables

Focus on using non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Sugar Additions

Avoid or limit adding sugar or sweeteners to your soup, as they can contribute to spikes in glucose levels.

Balance with Other Meals

If you know you're having vegetable soup, balance it with lower carbohydrate meals throughout the day to maintain overall stable glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after meals to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly, which can help your body process the food more efficiently and reduce spikes.
