So, I really enjoy soup for lunch, but are there soups out there that arent insanely high in sodium? Or sandwich meat for that matter? I really hate feeling like Im depriving myself just because of sodium, but boy do I HATE seeing such a high number in that column.

Any advice?

    Healthy Choice makes heart healthy soup there are many varieties to choose form , they are low in sodium an calories. They are also reasonably priced. As far as the lunch meat goes your better bet is to get it fresh from the deli that meat is not nearly as processed so that means less sodium it is a bit more expensive then buying lunch meat out of the box but well worth it. I hope that this helps you

    I make my own soup precisely so I can control the sodium - VERY easy to make in big batches, even if you're not a big cook. (You can get a lot of th ingredients prechopped, for example.) Then I freeze it in individual containers - frozen, it doesn't leak in my bag on the way to work. (I can tell you from experience that it takes a looonnnggg time to clean curried apple squash soup out of a full tote bag!) During the winter I try to make one kind every other weekend or so, and after a few weeks I have a good assortment of varieties to pick from when I pack my lunch in the morning.

    Amy's Kitchen has several brands around 350-390 mg. per cup serving. The best I've found so far.

    Soup has to be one of the easiest things on earth to make yourself. You can double recipes and freeze leftovers in portions. It is far healthier than canned stuff, tastes better, and cheaper too.
