We Tried 14 Canned Soup Brands. Here's The Best One To Buy

with so many canned soups to choose from at your grocery store picking the best ones can involve a lot of trial and error but instead of dealing with that headache we've made it easy here are some of the most popular canned soups you can buy from worst to best you very well could have grown up eating denti more soups their cans are recognizable and their soups created many fond memories over the last 80 plus years unfortunately dinty moore beef stew is no longer what it used to be even five or ten years ago the problem will hit you right between the eyes once you open up the can dinty more beef stew went from being one of the beefiest stews around to being almost devoid of beef remember those big chunks of beef from your childhood well those chunks have been replaced by smaller less flavorful flecks of meat additionally dinty more beef stew used to have an equal amount of potatoes and carrots but these days the quantity of potatoes far outnumber the carrots to make matters worse the potatoes don't have as pleasant of a texture as they used to and the carrots you do find will underwhelm campbell's has a well yes line of soups that they market as a healthier alternative to their other soups due to their use of real ingredients and the foregoing of all artificial flavors while not all of the well yes soups are bad the well yes chicken noodle soup is a disgrace to campbell's good name sure this soup might not have any artificial flavors but the problem is that they forgot to put in any flavors at all whether real or artificial the chicken in it is minimal and manages to be virtually flavorless the noodles in well yes chicken noodle soup are very light egg noodles made from a mix of quinoa flour and wheat flour other ingredients include white beans that taste like nothing watery tomatoes and round orange bits that are apparently carrots should you buy this soup well no that'd be a waste of money rayos makes highly rated marinara sauce that is legitimately some of the best stuff that you can find anywhere in the world they've become a trusted brand if you want quality rayo soups which hit shelves for the first time in 2019 must also be really good right tragically that is far from the case rayo's italian wedding soup has beef meatballs pork meatballs spinach carrots onions and pasta resting in chicken broth those are impeccable ingredients and rayo's clear soup jar makes it look fancy and could cause your mouth to water on your first bite you'll realize the main issue this soup has way way too much salt technically one serving of rayo's italian wedding soup has more than 30 percent of the amount of sodium you should consume per day but your taste buds will think the percentage is even higher than that while wolfgang puck chicken and dumpling soup won't cost you an arm or a leg this soup is definitely pricier than the competition factoring in the connection to world famous chef wolfgang puck and the yummy picture on the can your expectations will be sky high but be prepared to be left unsatisfied although wolfgang puck chicken and dumpling soup isn't bad it's painfully average the chicken in this soup is stringy and not the quality you'd expect the amount of potatoes in the soup is also disappointing the few so-called dumplings you find in the soup are just slimy pieces of dough in reality and the overall flavor is watery too lentil soup is something you may believe can only be tasty if you make it from scratch in your own kitchen while there are a lot of terrible lentil soups on the market that try too hard and add too many unneeded flavors amy's organic lentil soup is an option that you can go to that is consistently above average sure there are better soups available but this stuff is perfect for a cold day when you just want to stay inside and relax while a hot bowl of soup gently warms you up in addition to lentils amy's organic lentil soup has celery onions carrots and potatoes all those ingredients are organic and the soup is free of gluten soy and lactose if you eat a vegan or plant-based diet this soup should be in your cupboard if you're looking for a spicy soup you've come to the wrong can though there are a lot of seasonings at play they add to the depth of the overall flavor of the soup and not to any sort of spiciness healthy choice chicken with rice does the whole lot right starting with the fact that it's decently healthy for a canned soup a 15 ounce can has only 220 calories and four grams of fat it's also relatively low in carbs and sodium while being high in protein secondly healthy choice has really good vegetables the celery and carrots are soft but not so soft that they melt in your mouth and burst with flavor with every bite and finally the broth of this soup is really good if you have any left over in your bowl you won't hesitate to drink it right up buying progreso southwest style black bean and vegetable soup at your local market is a bit of a gamble and the reason for that is due to the fact that you never know quite what you're going to get when you open a can of this soup when it's good progresso southwest style black bean and vegetable soup is loaded with red bell peppers green peppers corn tomatoes and cilantro all those veggies mix with the chicken broth and black beans to create a winner add a dollop of sour cream on top and you'll be in soup heaven unfortunately there's another scenario that could play out sometimes when you open this can of soup the vegetables are scarce thus instead of being a praiseworthy soup it basically turns into a bowl of black beans sitting in broth when that happens it's truly heartbreaking ring ring ring ring progresso i forgive you you do heinz has been making ketchup since 1876 and their ketchup is by far the most popular in america with over 140 years of experience we know that this company knows their way around a tomato for that reason it's no surprise that heinz cream of tomato soup is really good and criminally underrated when it comes to tomato soup you probably don't think about heinz but that should change while this is different from tomato soup you're accustomed to it's wildly popular in europe specifically in the united kingdom give it a try and you may never switch back to traditional american tomato soup again comparatively this soup by heinz has a truer and richer tomato flavor finding heinz cream of tomato soup in the united states can actually be a chore however you'll find it very much worth the effort and eventually heinz won't just be your go-to company for ketchup you will turn to heinz for tomato soup too campbell's vegetable beef has a classic taste that hasn't changed one bit over the years while the beef in this soup comes in small pieces the pizzas are plentiful enough and tasty enough to make up for it to add to the beef flavor of this soup campbell's beef broth is amazingly savory did someone say soup also there's no shortage of vegetables in campbell's vegetable beef you'll find green beans carrots peas celery and more since all the veggies have been bathing in the beef broth they taste extra yummy the only thing that will slow you down when it comes to this soup is the sodium finishing off a can of this can be challenging because eventually you will tire of the saltiness you won't be surprised to learn that a can of campbell's vegetable beef has almost an entire day's worth of suggested sodium intake it's best to plan to eat no more than half a can at a time if you have a love affair with new england style clam chowder particularly clam chowder like they make it in maine you will absolutely adore this soup bar harbor clam chowder tastes so good that you'll think you're at an expensive restaurant bar harbor is a company based in maine so there's a good reason why this clam chowder is so authentic it tastes homemade and it's perfect for eating by itself or adding it to your favorite seafood recipe there are potatoes in this soup but not an overwhelming amount that ruins the taste it should be noted however that bar harbor clam chowder isn't chunky it has a ton of flavor but you aren't going to find chunks of clam or lobster if that's how you like your chowder you'll either have to look elsewhere or take the extra step of adding in your own seafood progreso minestrone is the very best progresso soup you can find hands down they've used the same recipe forever and the quality of the soup hasn't degraded at all over the years if anything it has managed to get better and better as the years have passed when you crack open a can what will grab your attention first is the pene pasta progresso puts a generous amount in each can and all the pasta is the perfect texture there's also a number of kidney beans and garbanzo beans that will grab your eye the real star of the show though is the wide variety of veggies progreso minestrone has celery carrots green beans spinach peas and potatoes the base of this soup is made from tomato paste which helps the flavors from the vegetables stand out while a lot of soups leave you yearning for more you'll be surprised that progresso minestrone is able to fit so much goodness into one humble can while coconut soup hasn't been discussed much in america amy is on her way to changing that thanks to amy's thai coconut soup this stuff is so good that you'll use your fingers to scrape every last drop off of the bowl and into your mouth besides coconut milk that is pleasantly sweet this soup also has carrots sweet potatoes green beans onions mushrooms garlic tofu and a lot of other all-natural all vegan and plant-based ingredients even if you have timid taste buds that don't enjoy a good adventure this coconut soup is tasty enough that it's worth it to push the envelope and give it a try while his chicken and dumpling soup we've already mentioned was a disappointment wolfgang puck more than redeems himself with his wolfgang puck tomato basil bisque this goodness lives up to the hype and is worth every penny of its price tag wolfgang puck tomato basil bisque isn't just normal tomato soup it has actual pieces of organic tomatoes inside of it to make it notably more hardy it also has an unmistakable basal taste and a sweet cream that immaculately balances out all the competing flavors there are a lot of good wolfgang puck soups that you can buy at the store but this one takes the cake you wouldn't think a soup based on tomatoes will be so exciting but all it will take is one can for you to be convinced i tell you this you will be stunned stunned by soup you can't eat this soup standing up your knees buckle campbell's has a history that dates back to 1869. while they have had a lot of stiff competition
