About this food

Soup is a common member of Condiments & Oils. Sodium varies hugely across condiments and oils - soy sauce and sauces are sodium-dense while most plant oils are nearly sodium-free. Swapping salty sauces for oils is a practical sodium trick. This helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Soup's sodium (19%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
