CANNED SOUPS

Are you aware that most canned soups are high in sodium (salt)?  Even if you don't eat canned soups as a meal, you are probably using them in recipes.  Now I am not saying you can't use them, I use them myself at times.  But pay attention to the sodium content, use low-sodium options, or when using in recipes, omit any salt called for, etc.  Just be aware of the sodium content and adjust accordingly.  As an example, if you eat regular canned soup as a meal with crackers, use unsalted crackers, etc.
