How to make it lighter
- Measure the mint oil you drizzle on top: one teaspoon gives the same aroma as a generous pour and keeps the bowl close to 260 kcal.
- Make it a fuller meal by adding a spoon of yogurt or a boiled egg on the side, which raises the protein without many extra calories.
- Watch the bread basket: soup plus two or three slices of bread can double the meal, so decide on one slice beforehand.
