Soup In A Can..?

They say that soup in a can need not be a bad thing… but as Asian in the western part, one only drinks soup .. when one is ill or when one has too much.. to eat. Missy Moo loves her Campbell ABC soup.. and asked for them constantly for dinner. I’m always torn in between giving her what she wants.. and feeding her right. What sort of nutrition.. and good food value is there in a can of campbell soup..?? will it keep her full for the nite..?? Lets hear what the experts have to say:
In the can
“Using canned ingredients doesn’t mean you’re compromising on nutrition. In fact, some studies put canned vegetables on top, containing higher levels of phytochemicals, such as beta carotene and lycopene, than their fresh counterparts. That said, sodium can be a problem. So when serving canned beans, be sure to drain and rinse well to reduce the saltiness. Look for low-sodium stock and taste soups and sauces before you add salt.
