Have you heard about the healthier types of soups Campbell's came out with in the last several months? My picture shows three of the soups, but I've tried about six now and they are all well worth it. They are not cheap, but I would have to pay attention when I shop again to see what the normal price is. I've gotten them on sale or with coupons or both so it's not so bad. I'm hoping my husband would try them, but he's ignoring them in the pantry.
One of them is a minestrone with kale. It also has a small pasta and chick peas and small diced vegetables. There are two that are chicken soups. One has roasted chicken with wild rice, corn, carrots and sweet potatoes. The other one I have right now is hearty lentil with vegetables soup. That includes chickpeas and roasted garlic.
They all are low in calories being around 100 or so per cup. They have no preservative and have no sugars included other than those found already in the veggies.
All the different one's I've tried thus far are delicious.

You can't really taste it in the soup. I know of people that add it by the large bunch load to a big pot of soup. I think it cooks down much like spinach will. A lot of people here use it in their salads or as a decoration on their plates.

I only like one type of tinned soup and that is Heinz tomato soup! It is comfort food here in the UK and only Heinz will do. Alternatively I make my own it is so simple and YOU control what goes in it.

We have a wide variety of international foods here at our store because we have a university and factory that has many international people at both. One of the common things stocked in the Heinz brand of soups and other condiments sold in England and thereabouts. Interestingly enough, Heinz is also a brand sold here in America, but those same types of foods aren't on our normal shelves. We do have Heinz steak sauce in most restaurants though.
Before I began working at my store, I didn't even know that those other Heinz products existed.

What is the cholesterol count @MarshaMusselman ? I hate that EVERYTHING today; healthy or not supposedly where the salt content is ridiculous. And they wonder why more people are getting kidney stones.

I'll try to add the list of these things that people are questioning.
I also wonder whether those getting overloaded with salts are still loading it on their foods every meal? Our bodies do need some salt. I don't know why manufacturers put so much into their cans or if they think they need that much to get the right flavor.

@MarshaMusselman I use Sea Salt occasionally. I don't know why they add the salt either considering almost ALL foods, fruits, veggies contain their own 'natural salt'.

@nanette64 And that could be a large portion of where the salt content does come from. I try not to use any salt whatsoever, or at least not add it to my food.

How is the sodium content, that is what worries me the most about canned soup? Thank you by the way for the exercises.

Your welcome and good question. I don't add any extra sodium to my foods, but I also don't have high blood pressure. I look at the sodium content for my husband but that's about it. The two cans I have left have between 590-620 mgs but their other soups both the chunky and regular have two hundred more mg's per serving. I'd think the sodium is used to preserve them since they don't put anything else inside, but I don't really know.

That might be a consideration. I'd want to buy more than one can of the same flavor and put them into a soup kettle to cook first.

All of them are good even those with things like the kale and lentils and other wholesome foods included.

Sounds perfect for me since I love soup. It's nice to know that they are putting out a healthier version and 100 calories a cup isn't too bad. Hows the sodium?

The sodium looks like it's runinng about 100-200 mg lower than the other soups they sell. It's still seems high,,but I don't know how much is inherent in the ingredients or added later.

They are very good although there is still a reasonable amount of sodium in each can.

@paigea My husband should be careful about his sodium and sugars, but eats to his heart's content regarding those things. One day he won't be able to have any of it. I wish he'd limit what he eats so he can enjoy it longer.

I don't think this has been out that long. Our store is similar to walmart except we're not world-wide. We span about five states in the midwest of the USA. It will take a bit for it to be available everywhere I'm thinking.

I have seen some of Campbell's new healthy soups- but not the ones you have shown there- they will take awhile to come to Canada! Looks like they're on a new healthy mission but will have to remove some of their salt to make it really healthy!

Nope. My daughter does all of the grocery shopping and I don't see the cans and such. They do sound good. They have always had some good ones. There used to be one that was lamb and had barley in it. Can't recall the name but I always really enjoyed it.
