Cooking with Canned Soup ~ Not that Brainy...


When I was growing up just about everyone was cooking with canned soup. It was a heyday for canned soup makers. But, cooking with canned soup is not really healthy for you. Its better to make your own stock and use it to make a variety of soups throughout the week.

The Brainy Gourmet has always advocated making stock and turning it into one soup or another. Read past blogs on doing just that. Go to the Brainy Blog and in the Search Box, type in Soup, or Stock and get cooking!


Info ~ Canned soup is notoriously high in salt. Why? Because, it is necessary to bring out the flavor and make the soup palatable and although it’s convenient, it’s still nothing compared to homemade chicken soup. A half-cup serving of a popular brand’s condensed chicken noodle soup contains 37 percent of the recommended daily allowance of sodium.
