Are fresh soups from the chilled counter healthier than shop bought ones?
Cartons of fresh soup are the next best thing to homemade because they use fresh ingredients which retain most of their nutrients. This is due to the way that they are prepared; they are pasteurised, rather than being sterilised at high temperatures like tinned soups. Cartons are therefore healthier than tinned – but like tins they can contain large amounts of salt, and they may be high in calories and fat if they are made with cream.
