⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
Canned soups are often very high in sodium, which can be a concern for blood pressure. To counteract this, look for 'low sodium' versions, and consider using only half the can with fresh water or unsalted broth. The processed meat may also contain nitrates; pairing it with a side of vitamin C-rich vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli can help mitigate this.
