Best Answer

Because the soup wouldn't taste very nice without it. Since canned soup isn't made with very high quality ingredients, and time to make it is limited, corners are cut. To achieve a decent flavour, the soup will need a lot of salt.

Why is that people who have high blood pressure are advice to avoid processed foods?

Processed foods are high in salt, which is used as a preservative. People with high blood pressure (hypertension) need to avoid the added salt that is in processed foods like soda, canned soups, lunch meats (deli meat) and cheeses, and sauces. Staying away from these products, and making fresh options instead is a healthier option for a person with blood pressure issues. Many canned options are actually made "low sodium", but don't be fooled, you still must check to see how much sodium is in the can, and remember to see how many servings the can has as each stated amount of sodium is "per serving" not "per can". So if a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup is meant to have two servings, and you eat the whole can by yourself, you have to double the amount of sodium that is listed on the back to cover both servings and that is the amount of sodium you've consumed. By the way, Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup is HUGE in sodium!

Remove sodium from homemade soup?

You really can't, short of perhaps draining off the broth and eating just the noodles. Canned soups are loaded with salt, and the best solution might be to simply avoid them altogether. Canned soups are so bad for you!They have nearly or the same amount of sodium you should intake in one day!STAY AWAY! If you drain the broth from canned soup -- does the sodium really get removed as well? I wonder if the sodium is absorbed in the veggies / noddles.
