1 The Best Commercial Soups to Eat This Winter Everyone needs their quick meal options in the fridge, freezer and pantry. And what do many of us swap our lunch time salads for when it gets cooler? Soups! As with most products on supermarket shelves, there is a confusing amount of variety. So, the NTA Dietitians created this resource to help you narrow down the healthiest, and most filling products. How Do I Decide What Makes A Good Soup? In general, aside from the odd slice of bread, a soup is a complete meal. For this reason, it has to satisfy our nutrient criteria for a whole meal, too. What we re looking for is: Total Energy (kj or Calories) Compared with many other quick meal options, soups generally have fewer calories. Making them a great choice for those watching their weight! A low energy meal would be between: 350 to 450 Kcal for women, which translates to 1470 to 1890 kj, or 400 to 500Kcal for men, ie 1680 to 2100 kj. Many soups are actually a lot lower energy than these targets for men and women. This is one of the reasons why they re such a great option for those wanting to control their weight! Protein Having enough protein in your meal is important for fullness. If protein is too low, people tend to feel hungry sooner after their meal, or less satisfied straight after they ve eaten. Even if you re comparing two similar looking meals with the same total calories and similar ingredients, the higher protein one will be more filling. Most Important Nutrients to Compare: 1. Total energy 2. Protein content Many commercial soups have too little protein. The low protein ones might be based on a vegetable, like pumpkin soup, or they might just have very small amounts of the protein containing ingredients like meat or legumes. As an absolute minimum for a main meal, look for a soup with at least 10g protein. Ideally, to reach the minimum you d usually see in a complete meal, aim for a soup with closer to 20g protein. Carbohydrate Contrary to current belief, this is NOT the nutrient the NTA Dietitians pay the most attention to when selecting a soup! There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, we are already looking for a soup that fits our total energy target above, so we know that the calories/ kilojoules are low enough to suit our weight control goals. Secondly, if a food contains more protein, then by volume it will have a lower amount of the other macronutrients, that is, carbohydrate and fat. If we choose a soup that meets our protein and energy targets, it s not possible for the carbohydrate to end up being excessive. Still, let s look at what an appropriate amount of carb would be for a regular meal. Ideally, our carbohydrate
2 intake should be spread quite evenly between our main meals/ snacks, to keep our physical energy and concentration relatively stable (and avoid cravings!). Looking at an average sized person (who is not doing any kind of endurance exercise), a daily carbohydrate intake at the lower end of normal would be: Men: g per day. This is kcal from carb, ie 40-50% daily energy from carb when eating 2000Kcal per day. Women: g per day. This is kcal from carb, ie 40-50% daily energy from carb when eating 1600kcal per day. Broken down over the day, this could look like: Men: Women: 40-60g carb per main meal 15-30g carb per snack 30-45g carb per main meal 15-25g carb per snack So, that gives us a range between 30-45g carb per soup for a woman, and 40-60g carb per soup for a man. Just make sure you count any bread you add! Can I eat bread with my soup? Per slice, a good quality grainy bread adds an extra 90Kcal (270Kj), and 15-20g carbohydrate 1.5-2g fibre If your soup is far enough below your energy target and contains enough protein, go for it! Vegetables In any other complete meal, half of your plate would be dedicated to non-starchy veggies. Since it s hard to work out how much vegetable content there is in a soup, we can get a clue from the fibre content instead. In one ½ cup serve of cooked veggies, there would usually be around 3g fibre. I d want to have at least two serves of veggies in my soup, because we need to reach 5-6 serves each day on average to meet our nutrient needs. Therefore, look for a soup with at least 6g fibre. If you can do better than 6g though, please do! Aim for one with as much fibre as possible, as this is another way to keep yourself full. Of course, if your soup contains a grain or any legumes (like lentils or peas), those will also add to the fibre content, which is fine. Sodium (Salt) This is a tricky one, because most commercial soups contain large amounts of sodium, and more than you d usually find in a home cooked meal. In general, there is far too much sodium in our food supply. Much of this comes from takeaway and convenience foods, but we also get a significant amount from regular foods like bread, sauces or marinades, deli meats, cheeses, and tinned or frozen ready meals. Sodium is a problem, because it makes our kidneys work harder (to flush the excess out). Excessive sodium intake can also make artery walls less elastic, which contributes to high blood pressure later in life. When looking for low sodium foods, we compare the amount of sodium per 100g of the food. Low sodium = 120mg/ 100g or less Moderate sodium = mg/ 100g High sodium = 600mg/ 100g or more
3 Unfortunately, you re quite unlikely to find a low sodium soup- unless you make it from scratch with a low sodium stock. Looking for a soup that is on the lower side of the moderate sodium category is the best option that doesn t rule out most products. Aim for: 300mg sodium or less, per 100g Soup Nutrients Summary: * Check the amount of these nutrients per serve, except sodium. Make sure you check how many serves are in a tin or pouch. You ll likely be eating the whole tin, not half of it. Energy Women < 1890kJ Men < 2100 kj Protein 10 20g Carbohydrate Women 30-45g Men 40-60g Sodium Lower = better. Under 300mg per 100g Fibre 6g or more Soup Varieties that Meet our Criteria- Listed Alphabetically by Brand And some close hits to increase your variety.
