Depends what you put in them

Add noodles or crackers or bread and they aren't good

Keep the levels of salt down, don't add sugars/starches and soups can be just perfect

Most of my meals look like stir-fry, eggs, soup, salads or some combination of the above.

So soups can be good if you cut the carbs, don't add crackers.

I made the other day chicken (breast) soup. Ingredients carrots, cellery, 1 small grated sweet potatoe, 1/2 chopped onions, broccoli, cauliflour and salt and pepper not to much salt. Served with 1 slice of toasted whole wheat bread.
The soup last me for 2 days. And was really good and tasty

Soups can be a good option for people with diabetes, especially when they are made with healthy, low-carb ingredients. Here are some tips from the knowledge base:

- Use Non-Starchy Vegetables: Incorporate vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, greens, or peppers instead of starchy vegetables like potatoes or corn.
- Include Protein: Add lean proteins such as chicken, turkey, or tofu to help keep you full and manage blood sugar levels.
- Avoid High-Carb Ingredients: Skip ingredients like noodles or rice, or use low-carb alternatives like cauliflower rice.

Always consult with your doctor or dietitian to ensure the soup fits your dietary needs.
