I love soup. All different kinds. But I’m on a low-sodium diet. I suppose you can find low-sodium canned soup at a specialty store. But the ones my grocery store carries are all loaded with sodium.

I just don’t get it. Why not just make them all low-sodium, then put on the label “salt to taste”?

Make a big batch of soup in a crockpot. Put it in containers in your freezer. Enjoy it for multiple meals without any added chemicals. It’s easy.

Mr. mm is on a salt restricted diet.

I make my own soup. I and he can salt to preference.

Soup is one of the easiest things to cook from raw fresh ingredients. It has exactly the amount of salt you, the cook, choose to put in it.
