Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I have been craving soup for a while does anyone know of any brands that are low in sodium and of course fat and calories. I love soup but when I stopped to look at my favorite tomato soup it had 900 mg of sodium and the low sodium was still shockingly high. unfortunitly in my family making homemade soup is just a waste of food no one eats it except me and I don't want to freeze it and eat the same kind over and over.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I like a lot of Amy's soups and I believe there are quite a few that are low sodium as well as low fat.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I make miso-vegetable soup for myself all the time and eat it for dinner all week long. What's wrong with eating the same thing for a few days in a row if something is yummy. By making it yourself you can make it low fat and without salt (I use miso and sea vegetables) Sharon On Feb 9, 2007, at 8:10 AM, mrswalp29 wrote: > I have been craving soup for a while does anyone know of any brands > that are low in sodium and of course fat and calories.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 My experience is--stay away from nationally advertised standard brands of canned soup. They tend to be loaded with salt, often contain trans fats [hydrogenated fats], and generally smell awful when you heat them up [one of the indicators]. I note that, even in this list, people often add canned mushroom soup to casseroles--my rule is: if I cannot make it from real food, I do not make it. Since I shop at a local Coop, there are many organic canned soups low in sodium and, as someone else mentioned the brand, Health Valley. They are much more expensive, but, if you don't cook soup, for your health, you just have to pay higher prices. I usually have some kind of home made soup in my refrigerator that I can reheat in the microwave. Someone else mentioned miso soup. I also make simple vegetable soups beginning with beans [you can use canned, but home cooked ones are better] and adding seasonal vegetables, onions, garlic, maybe canned tomatoes. Most of the time is spent cutting up the veggies. Also, freeze the soup in edible portions, and reheat them when you are ready to eat. I recently purchase a great vegetarian soup book called A Beautiful Bowl of Soup by Paulette Mitchell, published by Chronicle Books in 2004.
