Mutton soup (1 piece)

Choose a clear mutton soup without potatoes, corn, noodles, flour thickener, or added sugar.

Have a smaller bowl and eat slowly; avoid repeat servings.

Pair it with a non-starchy vegetable salad such as cucumber, tomato, spinach, cabbage, or leafy greens.

Add a fiber-rich side such as cooked lentils, chickpeas, or beans in a modest portion if the soup is not already heavy.

Avoid bread, rice, and fried accompaniments with the soup; choose vegetables instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal, if medically appropriate.
