    Its fine - if you can accurately estimate how much water; if you add a cup of water to a can of soup there is no question you had at least a cup of water

    wouldn't the sodium counteract the benefits of the water?

    Down. Way too much sodium to even be considered water.

    Thumbs down.... soup has far too much sodium. I only count water in a glass I drink as water.

    Thumbs down. The only water intake you count is plain water or some kinds of tea.

    thumbs down... I just count actual drinking of water as water intake. I mean, realistically doctors say we glean water from everything we eat and drink, this is why people who never drink plain ol' water aren't dying of dehydration... but, how are you supposed to calculate the water intake from celery or an apple or milk for that matter... don't cheat yourself or try to find the loop holes here... that's not the way this works... be honest with yourself and you will answer your own questions.

    If anything you should be adding MORE water to your diet after you eat that from all the sodium.

    Of course soup counts as water.

    Think about it.

    Your stomach does not have separate compartments for water and solids, everything you swallow gets churned up together before it is released into your intestines.

    As far as your digestive system is concerned, there is absolutely no difference whatsoever between eating some roast chicken and vegetables with a big glass of plain water and eating a bowl of chicken and vegetable soup.

    I mean, why bother anyway when you can just drink another glass of water and be sure of it?

    I only count drinking plain water as water intake. I don't count the water in my soup, broth, coffee, tea, crystal light, etc. Even solid foods contain water, I don't think that counts either. Take heart though, if you can find a way to make yourself drink your 8 cups a day, within a month or two you'll start to WANT it.

    Thumbs down.

    The only time I count water that has had something else added to it is when I drink fruit squash or barley water juice.
