I wanted a light dinner, so I pulled out a can of Campbells Chicken Noodle soup.. I ate most of the noodles and very little of the broth. Was curious to see if this soup is healthy or not.... Geeeeeeeeeeesh 1/2 cup of this soup has 890 mg of sodium....

As I was "searching" I found a list of the top 10 worst foods for you and would you believe canned soup was number 4. Chicken soup may be good for the soul, but the canned variety is bad for the body. A serving of Campbell's chicken noodle soup contains 890 milligrams of sodium, nearly a full day's quota of sodium.

Looks like I will be back to making my soups again... My soup tastes much better than canned anyway......
