The United States dietary guidelines recommend sodium of NO more that 2300 milligrams a day (less is better); this equals about 1 teaspoon of salt.
A soup with 1350 mg per serving contains (this is more than 1/2 teaspoon of salt) more than one-half of the body's daily allotment, so it is not good.

35. Salt is sodium.
To convert sodium (Na) in mg to mEq you divide the value by the molecular weight of sodium (23 mg/mM). In this case for example 157 mg of sodium equals 7 mEq. Usual low sodium diets contain less than 3000 mg or 130 mEq of sodium.
1/4 teaspoon salt = 600 mg sodium 1/2 teaspoon salt = 1,200 mg sodium 3/4 teaspoon salt = 1,800 mg sodium 1 teaspoon salt = 2,300 mg sodium
