Comments on: Getting Canned: Is Canned Soup Really that Bad for You? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/canned-soup/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence.

How is "soup" an ingredient in SOUP?!?! That's not a recipe. Thankfully, soup is one of the most forgiving fake-it-til-you-make-it kinds of food. As long as you start with good stock (which is even easier than good soup) you almost can't mess it up. I like to use my immersion blender for most soups so my kids won't ask me about any suspect ingredients. They always like it if they don't know what it is!

And 1g of salt is nothing, some have like 2.5g. Imagine that... 2 days worth of salt intake in one single can of soup. Ridiculous. Oh and soup Nazi's sh*t is awesome. Nice, I’ll be trying these out.

It will work, but the texture just becomes a lot lighter. yes–I am lactose intolerant and I made a similar soup recipie (this one was a salmon chowder) with coconut milk instead.

Lightly saute onion. Add whatever combination of veggies you have in the fridge, some herbs, fresh ginger and more or less 5 cups of water. Simmer for 20 min. Blend with a hand blender and Voila.
