One cup is 97 calories, a big bowl is not
The default serving here is 1 cup (248 g) of canned cream of mushroom soup made with an equal volume of water. It comes to 97 calories, 6.4 g of fat, 8.3 g of carbs and 1.6 g of protein. That is 5% of the daily calorie value, so a single cup barely registers in a day of eating.
The bowl is what moves the total. Two cups (496 g), a generous dinner bowl, land at 193 calories. Three cups (744 g) reach 290, and even five cups (1,240 g), most of a family pot, only add up to 484 calories.
Condensed soup is the portion trap. A half cup (129 g) straight from the can, before any water goes in, already carries 104 calories, slightly more than a full diluted cup. If you use it as a casserole or sauce base, count it by the half cup rather than guessing from the diluted number.
Fat supplies 59% of the calories
Mushroom soup looks like a vegetable soup, but its calories behave like a cream sauce. Fat provides 59% of the energy, carbs 34% and protein just 7%. Per 100 g that works out to 2.6 g of fat, 3.3 g of carbs and 0.7 g of protein, with only 0.5 g of saturated fat.
The mushrooms themselves contribute little to the nutrition panel. Fiber sits at 0.3 g per 100 g and sugars at 0.2 g, so the soup is not a meaningful fiber source. Cholesterol reads 0 for the canned, water-prepared version.
Protein is the weak spot. A cup gives 1.6 g, only 3% of the daily value, which is why the soup reads as a starter rather than a meal. If you want it to carry lunch, the protein has to come from what you serve with it.
Sodium is the row to watch
Calories are low; salt is not. One cup has 843 mg of sodium, 37% of the daily value, in a serving that supplies only 5% of your calories. Per 100 g the figure is 340 mg, or 15% of the daily value.
Portions push this fast. Two cups bring 1,686 mg, and three cups reach 2,530 mg, more than the full daily value in one sitting. A half cup of condensed soup holds 899 mg on its own, 39% of the daily value, so a casserole built on a can starts salty before you season it.
If you watch sodium, read the label of the exact can you buy. Campbell's sells a Condensed Unsalted Cream of Mushroom Soup and a Healthy Request version alongside its regular one, and Pacific Foods and Imagine make cartoned cream of mushroom soups with their own figures. Potassium is low here too, at 31 mg per 100 g.
Cream style nearly doubles the count
A cream style mushroom soup is a different food from the diluted can. The cream style serving (255 g) comes to 189 calories with 12.1 g of fat, 14.5 g of carbs and 4.4 g of sugars, about twice the canned cup.
It is not all downside. That bowl also delivers 5.4 g of protein, 11% of the daily value, plus 3.1 g of fiber, and its 617 mg of sodium, 27% of the daily value, is lower than the canned cup. You pay in calories and fat and get a more substantial bowl back.
For a lighter lunch, keep the canned cup and add the protein and fiber it lacks: grilled chicken, beans, or a slice of whole grain bread on the side. With the cream style, treat the soup as the main event and keep the sides simple. BodyPal can log either version from a photo of the bowl.
How does mushroom soup compare?
Here is how canned mushroom soup stacks up against tomato soup, corn chowder and tom kha soup, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the lightest bowl with the least salt, pick tom kha soup at 36 calories and 141 mg of sodium per 100 g, with tomato soup close behind at 34 calories. Mushroom soup sits in that light group at 39 per 100 g, while corn chowder runs about 2.5 times higher at 238 calories a cup, so save it for when the soup is the whole meal.
