When the cold sets in, there’s nothing like a steaming bowl of soup to warm you up. Rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, it remains an essential health ally. But if homemade soup is not your passion, certain references of brick or bottled soups nevertheless turn out to be excellent. You still need to know how to choose them carefully. This is where the Yuka application comes in, to do the sorting for you. And pleasant surprise! Certain references tick all the right boxes.
Industrial soup: pitfalls to avoid
Because it must be said, beneath their innocent appearance, many supermarket soups hide unsavory compositions: excess salt, added sugar, thickeners, preservatives or artificial flavors. Result: recipes often low in vegetables and rich in additives, far from the “homemade” spirit.
To avoid them, Yuka allows you to scan a product and discover a note on its composition and nutritional value. A simple and healthy gesture.
The two soups that surpass all others
According to Yuka, two references therefore share the first step of the podium with the perfect score of 100/100.
- Pea, broccoli and zucchini soup from Ferme d’Anchin : an organic recipe, without additives or excess salt, whose composition is similar to a homemade soup;
- Thiriet’s vegetable soup
: balanced, tasty and just as nutritionally impeccable.
Organic, without additives, with very little sugar and salt, these soups prove that it is possible to reconcile practicality and naturalness, without compromising the quality of the ingredients.
Other soups that can fill your bowl
That’s not all. A little below, but still considered excellent, Yuka also highlights several soups rated between 75 and 94 out of 100. And you probably know them.
- 8 vegetable soup – Ferme d’Anchin (organic): 94/100;
- Butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot soup – Carrefour Extra: 90/100;
- Soup of the 4 seasons – Thiriet: 90/100;
- Soup of varied green vegetables, anti-waste – Saint Eloi (Intermarché): 90/100;
- Bean-spinach velouté – Les Gourmets (Picard): 90/100;
- Organic vegetable garden Mouliné – Natural size: 88/100;
- Pumpkin and carrot soup – Liebig: 88/100;
- 4 vegetable soup – Picard (organic): 85/100;
- Cooked soup with 9 vegetables – Picard (organic): 85/100;
- Mouliné of vegetables from the vegetable garden – Jardin Bio étic (organic): 85/100.
These recipes favor raw, often organic, ingredients and limit salt, sugar and additives. So many points that allow them to stand out.
Healthier and more natural compositions
The top-rated soups all have one thing in common: short ingredient lists, a variety of vegetables and few gimmicks. Some, like those of Grandeur Nature or Jardin Bio étic, are distinguished by the total absence of added sugars. Result: balanced, digestible and tasty soups, perfect for warming up without guilt.
So forget your preconceptions. Brick soups are therefore not always synonymous with an ultra-processed product. By choosing the right product, you have a quick and healthy meal, even when the evening is short or busy.
