Health Valley Organic No Salt Added Tomato Soup

If you are like me and have a doctor recommend that you curb your salt intake and maybe even umpteen other intakes then you are looking for ways to cook food so it is tasty and satisfying with little or no salt.

No kidding, the salt habit can be really hard to break.  

I am always on the lookout for ways to season food so that my taste buds aren't shouting out for the salt shaker.  Eating out is nearly impossible.  Canned, frozen, boxed and packaged foods all have way to much sodium. So much sodium, in fact, that many contain one half or more of the 2000 mg total daily recommended serving of salt.  So what are you going to do?  Sometimes you just can't make food from scratch.

Each serving only 100 calories!
Each serving only 60 mg salt!

Health Valley Organic No Salt Added Tomato Soup is a good choice.  One can has two servings which together total only 200 calories. Each serving has only 60 mg of sodium, and that is really low. You will find in some foods that they naturally have that much sodium content without adding more.

Health Valley Organic has a whole line of no salt added soups.  Check out there website by CLICKING HERE.  Since the tomato is one of my favorite foods, I tried the tomato soup and thoroughly enjoyed it, feeling no need to add salt.  I thought the soup was tangy but not spicy, and this is a personal judgment call based on the level of spicy that I like.  It was also a little on the acidic side and tomatoes do contain acid that can create a burning sensation in the stomach.  If that is how it is for you, then you might counteract that with a little milk, or soy milk.  The can is complete, no additions needed.  It can be microwaved in a bowl or measuring cup.

Easy Peasy!

As it says on the can, it contains just under 2 cups.

The can says it contains just under two cups, and it does. I measured it myself and then microwaved it in the measuring cup.  And I ate both servings, actually drank it from a mug.  Fabulous!

Now finding Health Valley Organic No Salt Added Soups in your grocery store--some do stock it in the health food section.  I checked two large grocery chains in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area and both named it as a special order.  A can of this brand can be pretty pricey, special order that is.  Aftertaste testing the soup and deciding I would like to have some on hand for when I don't cook, I found an online source and bought a case with a free shipping offer, each can costing less than it does locally.

My hope is that when people find out that the Health Valley Organic brand is a good alternative choice to heavily salted canned soups that more will be bought locally meaning that the store will stock more and also meaning that the price will come down.
