English Fish Soup (1 Serving (241g))

Choose a fish soup with a clear broth and plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, zucchini, mushrooms, celery, or cabbage.

Ask for fewer or no potatoes, noodles, rice, croutons, flour-thickened broth, or added sugar; these are common causes of a larger rise.

Include extra fish or another protein portion, and avoid pairing the soup with bread or crackers.

Add a side salad with leafy greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and an olive-oil-and-vinegar dressing before or alongside the soup.

Keep the portion moderate and eat slowly, especially if the soup contains starchy ingredients.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
