Gúllassúpa (1 piece)

Choose a smaller bowl of gúllassúpa and avoid adding bread, dumplings, or extra potatoes.

Ask for more beef and non-starchy vegetables, such as cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, or green beans, in place of some potatoes.

Add a side of lentils, chickpeas, or beans if available to increase fiber and slow digestion.

Have the soup with a small serving of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or a cheese-based side rather than crackers or bread.

Eat slowly and start with a salad of leafy greens, cucumber, and vinegar-based dressing before the soup.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
