SWAP ScoreChoose Rarely
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium

- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
