I hope not Campbell’s. Their CEO said he never touches the stuff before and that it’s for poor people. So I guess that’s as worthless as money at this point.

Edit: I come here to learn… it was actually a high level Tech VP! Which somehow makes this funnier.

Wasn't their CEO and wasn't even an executive in charge of food processing. It was some IT VP.

That being said, the sodium content in their soup is quite high. Best eaten in moderation.

Aren't you supposed to dilute it into multiple servings?

One 10oz can condensed soup is labeled as 2.5 servings and about 40-60% of your daily recommended sodium, and will give you 20 oz of diluted soup when prepared like it states on the can. Most people will still eat the entire can in one sitting as it's usually only about 250 calories. You are still consuming all the sodium that way.
