    i think that should be ok, you can change your settings so you can view how much sodium is appropriate for you :flowerforyou:

    Soup in general has a lot of sodium. :ohwell: It is a high amount if that is for one serving, but if you watch the rest of the day and keep the sodium down, you should be ok. I have HBP so I try to keep a close eye on my sodium. Also, sodium can help to retain water, so I try to be really careful.
    Sounds delicious though! Enjoy!:flowerforyou:
