Chicken Soup (1 Serving (241g))

Choose a broth-based chicken soup loaded with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, zucchini, mushrooms, celery, cabbage, or green beans.

Replace noodles, rice, potatoes, and crackers with lentils, chickpeas, or barley, and keep the added starch portion small.

Include a generous serving of chicken and add healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or pumpkin seeds to slow digestion.

Eat the soup with a side salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar rather than bread or croutons.

Have a smaller bowl, eat slowly, and avoid sweetened drinks or dessert alongside the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
