ASIAN MUSHROOM SOUP - DIABETIC FRIENDLY



Asian Mushroom Soup - Diabetic Friendly image

A simple mushroom soup with an Asian-style ginger broth. Serving size is for 4 but DH and I say more like 2 servings. Fresh mushrooms are a low glycemic food as they contain very little carbohydrate. That means that they do not raise blood-sugar levels as significantly as carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread. Foods with a low GI may help to control blood sugar levels, control appetite and lower the likelihood of getting type 2 diabetes. Weight Watching Fresh mushrooms are a perfect choice for weight management, since they have high water content, are low in fat and contain some fibre: three factors that will help you feel full with fewer calories. That means less room for calorie-laden foods.

This hearty soup combines the natural sweetness of caramelized onions with leek and mushrooms. The nutty flavor of wild rice adds something special. You can use brown rice if you prefer.
