Let’s be honest: Nothing beats a warm, hearty bowl of soup on a chilly fall or winter’s day. Especially when you’re dieting and looking to lose weight, soup is a convenient option you can seamlessly prepare and let simmer or stock up on some canned options at the store. So, the next time you head on a grocery run, we have the best dietitian-approved canned soups for weight loss to peruse.
With the right options at your fingertips, certain canned soups provide a simple, satisfying meal that won’t derail your weight-loss efforts. The key is knowing which ones to add to your shopping cart, and we’re here to share the best canned soups for weight loss below.
Before diving in, there are a few ingredients and general guidelines to remember when canned soup shopping.
"Organic options and BPA-free cans [reduce the] exposure to hormone-disrupting chemical residues that are considered obesogenic," explains Tami Best, MS, RDN, IFNCP , from Top Nutrition Coaching. "[Additionally, canned soups with] fiber [can] positively impact the gut microbiota to facilitate weight loss, and [options packed with] protein [will take] longer for the body to digest, promoting a feeling of fullness and helping to lower calorie intake for the day."
When it comes to what ingredients to avoid, Best recommends staying away from seed oils that have been bleached, refined, and heated, such as corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, and peanut oil. "These oils are high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 oils. Inflammation can negatively impact weight loss efforts," Best tells us. Look for soups that contain avocado oil and extra-virgin olive oil instead.
Last but not least, broth-based soups that are bursting with veggies are always smart purchases. They have a high water content and provide solid fiber to promote satiety.
