Tortilla soup as a weight-loss meal

Sopa de tortilla can fit weight management because soup gives volume and warmth. To keep it lighter, build the bowl around broth, tomato, chile, onion, garlic, chicken and vegetables. Treat tortilla strips as a garnish, not the main ingredient.

If you need more protein, add shredded chicken or beans. If you need fewer calories, reduce crema and cheese before reducing the broth or vegetables.

What to log with MexicanCalorie

For a normal bowl, log Sopa de Tortilla. If your bowl has extra avocado, cheese, crema or many tortilla chips, log those extras separately. That gives a more realistic total than choosing a generic tortilla soup entry.
