Tomato Vegetable Soup (Prepared with Water) (1 Serving (241g))

Pair the soup with a protein source such as tofu, eggs, chicken, fish, or plain Greek yogurt to slow absorption and support steadier glucose.

Add fiber-rich legumes to the soup, such as lentils, chickpeas, or black beans; start with a small portion if you are not used to beans.

Include a modest amount of healthy fat, such as avocado, olive oil, walnuts, or almonds, alongside the soup.

Avoid having the soup by itself if it contains added sugars or is very low in calories; make it part of a balanced meal with protein, fiber, and fat.

Choose a lower-sodium, no-added-sugar tomato soup when possible, and check the label for added starches or sweeteners.

If you tend to dip after this meal, eat slowly and consider a short, easy walk after eating rather than intense exercise.
