Chicken Noodle with Celery and Carrots Soup (1 Package Yields)

Use a smaller portion of noodles and add more chicken and celery to reduce the meal’s fast-digesting carbohydrate load.

Choose whole-grain or al dente noodles rather than soft refined noodles, and avoid adding crackers, bread, or extra noodles.

Increase the non-starchy vegetables in the soup, such as celery, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, or green beans.

Add a source of healthy fat or protein alongside the soup, such as avocado, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds.

Eat the chicken and vegetables first, then the noodles, and eat slowly to moderate the rise after the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
