Hamburger Soup Menu

My husband and sister have diabetes. I have researched low carb diets and discovered that the number of carbs in each dish is important.

I make them follow a strict menu plan, with meals that have 45-75 grams of carb each (3-5 carb choices).

Ideally women should have 45-60 grams of carb per meal and men should have 60-75 grams of carb per meal.

My husband's favorite meal is Hamburger Soup:

1 cup Quick Hamburger Soup
