    I think they taste bad and are of little nutritional value and therefore avoid.

    But if you like 'em, then drink up.

    For me, too much sodium and too many carbs (Type 2 diabetic). If you want something warm and soothing, I'd stick with herbal tea in various flavors. If you are looking for convenience, there are some healthy canned soups that offer more healthy options. If you have a fridge and microwave at work or school, leftovers and home made trumps all!

    They're revolting.


    You can get sachets of Heinz soup concentrate over here (UK) that you put in a mug and add hot water too. They're nowhere near as bad. If you're in need of hot soup and have only got a kettle.

    I like them! They are pretty awful but there is something about having a nice warm cuppa with croutons in on a cold day.

    Country Cup tom yum is one of my favourite snacks. Some can be high cal for little return. in the end, IIFYM.

    I'm not willing to waste half of my daily allowance of sodium to one can of soup.

    Way too high in sodium.
    I make a big pot of homemade soup on weekends. Freeze in individual portions. Much tastier and better for you.

    I just think they're pointless. I'd rather get a sachet of instant miso soup, better for you, only 50 calories and if you mix it up at home you can add chicken or shellfish to it and warm them up in the microwave at work. much better for you, more filling and has the brilliance of seaweed added!

    A whole CAN of Heinz Minestrone soup in the UK is only 120 calories, high in protein ( and sodium) compared to a sachet of dehydrated Bachelors Tomato and vegetable soup which is roughly the same amount of calories.

    The canned soup will keep you fuller for longer.

    Ewwwww no, no, no. Soup isn't something that comes dried in a packet. Soup is something that, at best, is made from a good stock of meat or fish bones with good, fresh ingredients added and at worst is one of the freshly made soups you find in the chilled cabinets of supermarkets (and these days, most of those are pretty good and don't have added crappage.)

    Love home made soup best. Cup-a-Soup for work though and I like em :bigsmile: Though as many folk have mentioned, the sodium count is a killer!

    Bad! I was browsing the grocery store and thought that'd be great for my diet. Nope! 1,001 sodium... In that small cup!

    The amount of salt makes me feel terrible. I usually get a canned soup and then water it down a little more. Or the low sodium variety. I love the Healthy Choice chicken noodle soup but I can turn one portion into 2 by adding more water and diluting that a bit.

    I'm about to have a tomato Cup-a-soup right now! Fair do, no nutritional value whatsoever, but I'm not drinking it for that!
