Watch for the side dishes
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest soups with a clearer broth over creamy options like clam chowder or broccoli cheese. They also encourage soups with legumes, which include beans, peas and lentils, to increase the fiber and protein in your meal. If eating at a fast food chain, ask for fruit instead of fries or onion rings.
