Check the label for the serving size, since many cans have 2 or 2.5 servings in them. If you have the whole can, multiply the calories and other information by the number of servings (2 or 2.5) in the can.
- If you make a can of condensed soup with milk instead of water, add in the calories from milk. They are not included on the label on the can!
- Most canned soups are packed with sodium. 1 can can easily provide all that you need in a whole day. If you are watching your sodium, choose a low-sodium version.
- Get a low-fat or low-calorie soup. They taste almost the same as the regular versions, but are usually a lot healthier.
- Choose a soup with beans or vegetables, or add your own. You'll get extra fiber and antioxidants, and the soup will be more filling.
- Protein is filling, so choose a soup with beans, chicken or lean beef.
- Have your soup with a few crackers instead a high-calorie helping of bread.
- Have your soup with salad (light dressing, of course!) to make a bigger meal without many calories.
- Enjoy it!
