Broccoli soup calories come to 209 for 1 cup (255 g) and 82 per 100 g of ready-to-eat broccoli cheese soup. Fat, not broccoli, drives the total: it supplies 50% of the calories. The bigger surprise is sodium, with 839 mg per cup, or 36% of the daily value.

A cup is 209 calories, a container is 361
A 1 cup (255 g) bowl of ready-to-eat broccoli cheese soup lands at 209 calories, about 10% of the daily value. A single-serve container (440 g) is 361 calories, or 18% of the daily value. That makes the container a small meal rather than a side, and soup is easy to finish without noticing the volume.
Refills add up fast. Two cups come to 418 calories with 21.7 g of protein, and three cups reach 627. If you eat straight from the pot, five cups add up to 1,046 calories, which is more than most people expect from a vegetable soup.
Condensed soup reads differently. A half-cup (121 g) of condensed broccoli soup, the style sold by Campbell's Condensed Cream of Broccoli Soup, is listed at 105 calories, but that figure is before you add water or milk. Whatever you stir in changes the total, so log the condensed amount and the liquid separately.
Fat supplies half the calories
Per 100 g the soup carries 4.5 g of fat, 6.1 g of carbs and 4.3 g of protein for 82 calories. Fat makes up 50% of the calories, carbs 30% and protein 21%. That profile comes from the cheese base far more than from the broccoli.
A full cup holds 11.6 g of total fat, and saturated fat runs 2.3 g per 100 g. Sugar stays low at 2.6 g per cup, and fiber is a modest 3.3 g. Carbs total 15.5 g per cup, so this is not a starchy soup.
Protein is the pleasant surprise: 10.9 g per cup, 22% of the daily value, and 18.7 g in a full container. That is several times the protein of the tomato, mushroom or carrot soups in the table below. Still, it is not a protein main on its own.
Sodium is the row to watch
One cup carries 839 mg of sodium, 36% of the daily value, from a bowl that supplies only 10% of daily calories. That gap is the real story of this soup. A full container pushes sodium to 1,448 mg, or 63% of the daily value.
Condensed soup is no lighter per spoonful. A half-cup (121 g) holds 800 mg, 35% of the daily value, before you dilute it. On the ready-to-eat side, two cups reach 1,678 mg and three cups hit 2,517 mg, which is past the full daily value in a single sitting.
If you watch sodium, treat one cup as the portion and keep the rest of that meal low in salt: plain grains, fresh fruit, unsalted vegetables. Potassium is 161 mg per 100 g, a modest amount that does little to offset the salt.
A cup works best as a side, not a meal
At 209 calories and 10.9 g of protein, a cup sits in light-lunch territory. It fills a bowl with volume, but 255 g of soup with 3.3 g of fiber may not carry you through the afternoon on its own.
Since the soup already supplies plenty of fat, pair it with something that adds protein or fiber without much more: a lean protein, a green salad, or whole-grain bread. That keeps the bowl as a starter and lets the rest of the plate do the filling.
Homemade versions with less cheese can differ, but the numbers here describe the ready-to-eat broccoli cheese style. If you snap a photo of your bowl, BodyPal can log it, so the portion you actually ate is the one that counts.
How does broccoli soup compare?
Here is how broccoli soup stacks up against mushroom, tomato and carrot soup, per 100 g and per usual cup serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories pick tomato soup at 83 per cup or mushroom soup at 97, both about half or less of broccoli cheese soup's 209. Broccoli soup earns its extra calories only on protein, with 4.3 g per 100 g against 1.3 g at most for the others.
