Homemade soup usually is not too unhealthy for you as long as it does not have a cream base. However, canned and packaged soup is far too common and contains much more sodium than a serving of soup should. Low quality ingredients tend to result in the use of fillers and too much salt.

In our Healthy Soup Recipe category, you will find easy homemade soup recipes that allow for lots of substitutions and/or additions. If you don't want to use a low sodium chicken broth, simply use water or a vegetable stock.
