The Good: Low-sodium, High-fibre
The Bad: Some may find this soup bland
If you've ever glanced at the label on soup cans, you probably noticed that incredibly high amount of salt in most. Often times exceeding half of the recommended daily allowance. In the past it's been pretty hard to find low sodium soups, but increasingly more options are hitting the market.
Health Valley offers a great range of organic soups that have no added salt. I've only tried a couple so far (Organic Lentil & Vegetable), but I quite like what I taste so far. And as far as ingredients go, the only questionable item on the list is evaporated cane juice (sugar). This isn't really a big deal though as the amount is negligible and comes packed with a healthy dose of fibre which will ensure your blood sugar level doesn't spike too rapidly.
The only drawback (for those with a salty tooth) here is really one of it's great qualities - the utter lack of salt. If you're already eating a low-sodium diet (which you should be) then this might not bother you too much. But for those who are no stranger to the salt shaker will likely find this soup too bland to palette.
Ingredients: filtered water, organic lentils, organic celery, organic onions, organic tomato paste, organic carrots, organic spinach, corn starch, organic evaporated cane juice, expeller pressed canola oil, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, oregano, cumin, organic basil, organic sage.
