As usual, I'm poking around for health & fitness tidbits when I'm surfing around FitSugar and landed on this article comparing different soups (yah I stole their graphic above...click to enlarge)Notice how the smallest single serving can, called "healthy choice" has the highest calorie count and is high in sodium.
I'm not saying those soups are bad for you, the calorie and fat counts are low enough (however the sodium count is pretty high all around). I love soup, it's delicious! Great with crackers a sammy or just plain bread rolls (which I like to call Dunkin' Bread b/c I'm high class), soups are easy to make because all you really do is heat the shit up.
Even better, you can add just about anything you want to the mix -- I have a friend who mixes fresh canned soups with fresh veggies, grilled chicken and a little penne pasta. He throws some other stuff in there too, while I usually just heat and eat. I'm very simple when it comes to food preperation, I don't always know what mixes and what doesn't or how the final outcome will taste. I'm usually so hungry by the time I get around to making something I can't afford for it to go wrong or I'd starve to death. It almost happened this one time, you guys.
And so yah, point is you have to read the label. Not all soups are created equally.
