Tomato Soup (Prepared with Water) (1 Cup)

Have a smaller serving of the soup and avoid seconds; measure the portion rather than eating directly from a large bowl.

Pair the soup with protein and fat, such as grilled chicken, eggs, tofu, or avocado, instead of eating it alone.

Add fiber-rich, non-starchy vegetables to the meal, such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or a side salad with olive oil.

Choose a lower-carbohydrate tomato soup when possible; compare labels and select options with less added sugar and fewer total carbohydrates per serving.

Skip or substantially reduce bread, crackers, croutons, and starchy sides that are often eaten with tomato soup.

Eat slowly and take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal if appropriate for you.
