🍳 Instructions

3. Season It

Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toast spices gently for a deeper flavor.

💡 Diabetic-Friendly Tips

✔ Keep carbs steady

• Carrots are optional; soup stays very low-carb without them.
• Tomatoes add flavor but keep them moderate (½–1 cup).

✔ Add fiber to improve glucose response

A tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp hearts stirred in works beautifully.

✔ Protein first

This soup is high-protein, which helps reduce blood sugar spikes and keeps you full longer.
