Pork, Vegetable Stew Type Soup with Potatoes (1 Cup)

Reduce the potato portion and replace part of it with non-starchy vegetables such as cabbage, zucchini, spinach, green beans, mushrooms, or cauliflower.

Choose a broth-based pork and vegetable stew with no added sugar, flour, cornstarch, or sweet sauces; thicken it with blended cauliflower or a small amount of lentils instead.

Use a modest portion of lean pork and trim visible fat; pair it with extra vegetables rather than additional potatoes or bread.

Add beans, chickpeas, or lentils to the stew in a moderate portion to increase fiber and slow the rise in glucose.

Eat the stew with a side salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar or lemon, and avoid bread, crackers, rice, or sugary drinks alongside it.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal, if safe for you, to help reduce the post-meal glucose rise.
