Campbell's Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup

...is mmm-mmm SALTY!

I'm feeling better, so I'm trying some chicken soup. Campbell's Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup, to be exact. Each serving has 70 calories. For a 2500 calorie diet, you would need to eat 35.7 servings. Each serving has 940 mg of sodium. That would work out to 33,571 mg of sodium a day if you ate nothing but Campbell's Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup.

My box of Hain Iodized salt says that each tsp of salt has 2360 mg of sodium. Your daily diet of soup would be the equivalent of eating more than 14 tsp of salt a day.

Yum! That's homestyle, alright.

If your home happens to be the Salton Sea.

Yup, I never understood why Campbell's makes their soups so salty. Are we supposed to eat their soup, or gargle with it?
