Why this Labelgrade
| Dimension | Grade | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein density | D | 54 / 100 | 2.5g per 100mL — below the high-protein bar; not the right product for protein hunting |
| Ingredient quality | C+ | 69 / 100 | 24 ingredients; flagged MSG or curing nitrites |
| Saturated fat load | A+ | 98 / 100 | 1.01g per serving (0.4g per 100mL) — very low |
| Sodium load | C+ | 65 / 100 | 790mg per serving (97mg per fl oz) — moderate |
| Sugar load | A+ | 100 / 100 | 3g sugar, all naturally-occurring lactose (no added sugar) |
| Fiber | F | 38 / 100 | 2.88g per serving — modest fiber contribution |
| Overall | B- | 71 / 100 | Weighted blend: protein 25% · ingredients 22% · saturated fat 18% · sodium 15% · sugar 12% · fiber 8% |

The sodium math is the whole story
Strip away the marketing and a “Chunky” soup is mostly water, vegetables, and a little beef in a salted beef stock — which is genuinely fine food. The problem is the salt, and it shows up in three places on the label: the beef burgers carry their own salt and MSG, the stock is salted, and there’s added salt twice more in the “less than 2%” list. The result is 790mg of sodium per cup.
That number only sounds moderate because the serving is small. A cup of soup is not a meal for most people; a Chunky can is built to be eaten as lunch, and it holds roughly two cups. Eat the can and you’re at about 1,580mg of sodium — within shouting distance of the 1,600mg that a single can of Progresso minestrone delivers, and most of a 2,300mg day before breakfast and dinner. The honest way to read this soup: one cup is a reasonable side; the whole can is a high-sodium meal.
What it does well: lean, filling, real ingredients
The flip side is why this still grades B- and not lower. For 120 calories a cup you get actual carrots, potatoes, green beans, and peas in a beef broth, with 6g of protein and only 3g of fat — 1.01g of it saturated. There’s no meaningful added sugar (the 3g of sugars is just what the vegetables and dairy bring). That’s a far better calorie-for-calorie deal than a cream-based soup, and the fiber (2.88g) and potassium (341mg) come from the vegetables rather than an additive.
This is the broth-soup advantage in a nutshell: water-and-vegetable soups are naturally low in fat and calories, so the only real lever to watch is sodium. Pair a cup with a protein you control the salt on — a piece of plain chicken, a hard-boiled egg, a can of no-salt-added beans — and you’ve got a low-fat, filling meal without doubling down on the salt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is canned soup healthy?
It depends almost entirely on sodium and what's actually in the can. A broth-based soup with real vegetables, beans, or lean meat — like this one — can be a genuinely good, filling, low-fat meal. The catch is salt: most canned soups, this one included, carry 600-1,000mg of sodium per cup, and people rarely stop at one cup. The healthiest canned soups are low-sodium, broth-based, and vegetable- or bean-forward; the ones to limit are creamy, cheese-based, or labeled anything close to a full day's sodium per can.
Why does Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger Soup get a B-?
It's a solid broth soup held back by salt. The build is good for a canned product — beef, carrots, potatoes, green beans, and peas in a real beef stock, with only 3g of fat, 1.01g saturated, and effectively no added sugar. But 790mg of sodium per cup is a third of the day's limit in one serving, and the protein (6g) and fiber (2.88g) are modest. Decent food, salty execution — that lands it at B- (71/100).
Is 790mg of sodium a lot for one cup of soup?
Yes — it's about 34% of the FDA's 2,300mg daily limit in a single cup. The practical problem is that a cup is a small portion; eat the whole can (roughly two cups) as a meal and you're near 1,600mg, most of a day's sodium before anything else you eat. If sodium matters to you, treat one cup as the serving or look for a low-sodium line.
Is the serving one cup or the whole can?
Every number on this page is per 1 cup (240mL): 120 calories, 6g protein, 790mg sodium. That's the USDA serving, but a Chunky can holds closer to two cups, so a typical 'a can for lunch' meal doubles all of it — including the sodium.
What's a lower-sodium canned soup option?
Look for 'low sodium' or 'less sodium' on the label — those reformulations target roughly 410mg or less per cup, versus the 790mg here. Many brands (Campbell's, Progresso, Amy's, Health Valley) sell a low-sodium line of broth and vegetable soups. Adding your own fresh or frozen vegetables to a low-sodium base stretches it into a bigger, lower-salt meal.
