Is Canned Cream of Soup Harmful

The canned stuff is typically loaded with fat and excess sodium. Check your labels. I have often seen, modified food starch, which is a processed ingredient that helps thicken up the soup. They also often include vegetable oil, sugar, and flavoring. Flavoring basically means something has been added to alter the natural flavor.

Let me tell you something, once you make my cream of chicken soup, you’re gonna side-eye that canned soup every single time. I’ve spent a decade sharing those homemade swaps that take your cooking from ok to top tier. This recipe does not miss. It’s creamy, buttery, perfectly seasoned, and what family stays begging for when I make casseroles and soups!
