The 12 Unhealthiest Canned Soups You Can Buy
by STEVEN LUNA
Progresso
Progresso Rich & Hearty Chicken Corn Chowder Flavored with Bacon sounds like a savory celebration in a bowl, but you'll want to limit your consumption.
While a one-cup serving delivers a reasonable 190 calories, it comes with 830 milligrams of sodium, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, and seven grams of fat.
Gardein
A can of Gardein Plant-Based Saus'ge Gumbo comes with more troublesome nutrition than you might imagine, especially from a company that touts healthy alternatives.
The 210 calories and five fat grams, only 1.5 of which are saturated, aren't outrageous, but you also get a blood pressure-elevating 1090 milligrams of sodium.
Amazon
The 120 calories and 4 grams of fat, one of which is saturated, with just a one-cup serving of Amazon Fresh Chicken Noodle, isn't the worst thing in the world.
However, it contains 30 milligrams of cholesterol and a hefty 1780 milligrams of sodium — just under the recommended daily allowance of 2300 milligrams and the highest on our list.
Chunky
Chunky Spicy Chicken Quesadilla may not be the spiciest soup, but the label highlights antibiotic-free chunks of chicken, beans, and vegetables.
While 180 calories per one-cup serving might sound moderate, the seven fat grams, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, and 790 milligrams of sodium dampen your siesta.
Gardein
Gardein Plant-Based Minestrone & Saus'ge is a tasty vegan canned soup seasoned in a distinctly Italian style, but the label might shock you.
A single serving has 240 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 1030 milligrams of sodium, amounting to 45% of the daily recommended quantity.
