Quang Minh (theo Heathline) |

Soups that are nutritious, high in fiber, low in carbohydrates and have a low glycemic index (GI) are ideal choices for people with diabetes.

Here are six soups recommended by health experts, backed by reputable scientific research.

Bitter melon soup with minced meat

Bitter melon is a well-known food that helps reduce blood sugar naturally. According to the International Journal of Diabetes Research, bitter melon contains charantin and polypeptide-p, compounds that have insulin-like effects, effectively supporting blood sugar reduction.

When combined with protein-rich minced meat, this soup helps maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time, control blood sugar and limit unusual hunger.

Amaranth soup with shrimp

Malabar spinach contains a lot of fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of glucose into the blood.

According to research from the American Dietetic Association (ADA), green leafy vegetables such as Malabar spinach not only reduce the risk of diabetes complications but also improve cardiovascular health.

Shrimp provides protein and micronutrients like zinc and selenium, which help support insulin function and stabilize blood sugar.

White radish and carrot soup

White radishes and carrots have a low GI, are rich in fiber and anti-inflammatory compounds.

White radish is rich in vitamin C, which helps improve the immune system and reduce blood sugar levels.

When cooked with carrots, this soup becomes a source of beta-carotene, which helps reduce the risk of diabetes complications, especially in the eyes and blood vessels.

Pumpkin soup with green beans

Pumpkin is a medium GI food, but when combined with green beans, this soup slows down digestion and reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Green beans contain soluble fiber and antioxidants, which help control blood sugar levels effectively. According to the Journal of Clinical Medicine, adding pumpkin and green beans to your diet can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes complications.

Broccoli and chicken soup

Broccoli is a source of sulforaphane, a natural compound that helps reduce inflammation and control blood sugar. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sulforaphane also helps protect blood vessels from damage caused by high blood sugar.

Chicken is rich in protein and low in saturated fat, making it an ideal choice for diabetics. This soup is easy to prepare and provides many essential nutrients.

Kale and Mushroom Soup

Kale is high in fiber and antioxidants, which help improve liver function and lower blood sugar. Shiitake mushrooms are not only low in calories but also provide beta-glucans, which help lower cholesterol levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

According to the Asian Journal of Diabetes and Obesity, combining kale and shiitake mushrooms creates a soup that not only helps control blood sugar but also protects heart health.
