WEBVTT - TNC Review: Packet Soups

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>The cooler weather is approaching and it's the time of

0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>year when we start to swap our crispy summer salads

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>for warm, nurishing soups. So this week on the Nutrition

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Couch podcast review, we take a look at two quick

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and easy, pre made soup options that you can find

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in the supermarkets. Hi, I'm Leanne Wood and I'm Suzie Burrow,

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's two of Australia's leading dieticians who specialize in

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>evidence based nutrition. We renew the Nutrition Couch Product Review,

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a weekly chat on new products and old favorites that

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you can find in your local supermarket. So to kick yourself, Susie,

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 1>are you a soup lover or not?

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I am a massive soup lover And you know the

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 2>soups I like mostly and I love going to America

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>eventually because when you go there they have so many soups.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>You can get mushroom and this bean one and child.

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I know, yes, lobsters, lobster bus room. And I love

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 2>in Hawaii. My friend Jamie, who always comes to Hawaii

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>with me, will no cheesecake factory. We love the soup

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and half the sandwich. And you know, in Australia, we're

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 2>getting more options now, but I have to be honest,

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.759
<v Speaker 2>I do tend to make most of mine. I love

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a homemade soup. One of my favorites is one that

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I found in the Colos magazine last year, which is

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 2>literally just bloody beans, tomato, pisada, leaks celery. It is

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 2>so delicious. I throw kale in at the end, and

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>if I leave it on the bench, Chris will eat

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing, it is so young. So I do

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of ones that I will buy, and indeed,

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I've recently done a trolley on this because there's so

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>many in supermarket. And I think the good thing actually

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 2>Land is that there is so many more fresh pouches

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and fresh ones now compared to the old days where

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>they did tend to be cup of soups or tin soups, which,

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.639
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, are often higher in sodium and higher

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>in additives. Whereas I couldn't believe really how many great

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>fresh ones there were in the little containers at very

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>reasonable prices, and also the pouches, which is a way

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>that manufacturers can make them without as many additives, things

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>like added salts and things to keep them fresh. And

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I think the thing for me is it's not inexpensive

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>to make a batch of soup because if you are

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>adding leaks, celery, onion as the base, then things like celery, kale, spinach,

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it adds up, and particularly if you

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 2>have the leggings are cheap, but the stocks are not.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 2>If you get a no added salt stock, they can

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>be ten dollars per container. Now I guess we'd make

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>our own stock in an ideal world. So I find

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 2>some of my soups are up to twenty dollars worth

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.959
<v Speaker 2>of ingredients, which you may or may not consume the

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>whole lot. Whereas if you can get a packet soup

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>like we're showing today for four or five dollars for

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.399
<v Speaker 2>a couple of serves, it's hard to go past them

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>cost wise. So I think they can be a really

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 2>cost effective option too. And it's just options, as we said,

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, generally speaking, the cup soups tend to be

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the most processed and the highest in additives and particularly

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 2>salt and even flavor enhances like MSG. The tin ones

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 2>in general are pretty good, but again they have a

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>lot more additives, whereas my preference for my clients and

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>sharing today on the nutrition couch. Is those fresh pots outstanding.

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>You really can't fault them, and there's a huge number

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 2>of good ones. But the ones I thought we would

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>talk about today are a couple of the pouches because

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>they I guess you don't have to keep them cold,

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>they store for longer, and the pantry, you know, you

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>can travel with them. There's so many different ones. You know,

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>in the past we've talked about the plant protein range,

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 2>which we're fans of. But I chose two different ones

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>today to go through. One because I wanted to showcase

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>one of my favorites. So I wanted just to compare,

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 2>so full disclosure. But that's the process, isn't it. And

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>we go through we don't. We just sort of go

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 2>through and think what tkills they are fancy on the day,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>and so these were a couple that sprang to mind,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>but there's a million others. It was just I sort

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of tried to pick like for like. I didn't want

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 2>to compare a pouch to a tin. So we've gone

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for pouches just as the sort of preferential one. And

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>also Lee and I also found the fresh ones. There

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>were so many good ones. I couldn't really differentiate between

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the brands. They were all pretty good, particularly the veggie bases,

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>so hence going for the pouches. So the first one

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I've chosen is the hind Sea of the Day seven

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>veg with garden herbs, And as I said, the reason

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I chose this was because it matched the ones the

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 2>other one I wanted to talk about. So this is

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>a four hundred and thirty gram packet, so quite hardy

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.839
<v Speaker 2>four dollars, so two dollars per serve, very reasonable for meal.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>A quick scan of the ingredients is pretty strong land

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>It's seventy two percent vegetables, and if we break that down,

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 2>it's tomato, pump and potato, green and red capsicum's, zucchini, carrot,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>sweet potato. So a really nice mix because I think

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that always screams out to me

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>with soup is if you look at the ingredients and

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 2>it's all potato, it's really not giving you the vegetable

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>bulk or the range of nutrients you would get from

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>brightly colored vegetables. So that sort of turns me off

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit when I see a lot of potato

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>water cream. So it does have a little bit of

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 2>cream to give it some flavor. Mace thickener. There's no

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 2>cause for concern with Maze is an additive. It's just

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to give it some bulk herbs, including parsley, salt, brown sugar,

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:59.160
<v Speaker 2>flavor enhances, the three six three five soy sauce, curry powder, spice.

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 2>So overall it's pretty clean, but it does have things

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>like sugar added, salt added, but flavor enhances, which we've

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 2>talked about before. I'm not the biggest fan of.

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>We have a look at nutritionals.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>They're saying it's one serve per pack. I think that's

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a big serve, Laan, and I would definitely make that

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>be two serves if it was me, I.

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Could definitely eat that in one sef you reckon.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, I think they're quite heavy, and I tend

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>to use super as aside for clients. So I'll say,

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>have a sandwich or a wrap and a soup, so

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's how you're having it. If you were

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>having this just with a slice of protein toast, it

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>could be a meal absolutely. So it is only one

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty calories. There's an error on that nutritional label.

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and eighty calories per serve or seven seven

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>five kilogels, so you're right, it's quite low. Overall, three

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>point nine grams of protein, three grams of fat, zero

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 2>point seven saturated, thirty three point one grams of carbohydrate,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 2>so roughly equivalent to two slices of bread. Seven point

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 2>seven grams of sugars, which is pretty high. Oh sorry,

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>seven that's per served. Three point three grams of sugar

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>perur teen point two grams of sugars perserve, so quite high.

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 2>And nine hundred and eighty milligrams of sodium, which is

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>not insignificant.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Sort of.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 2>We don't talk a lot about salt on the Nutrition

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Couch podcast because I guess sodium is sort of down

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 2>our list of areas we like to chat about, but

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not unimportant. You know, as a recommendation, you're trying

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to have less than two thousand milligrams of sodium per day,

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>so this is almost half your recommended DAILA upper intake,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 2>which you would argue Leand with the soup you get

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of potassium. It's good for us, so you're

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>going to get some salt. But this isn't a low

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 2>sodium soup by any means, but I don't like the

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>sugars on it fourteen grams of sugars perserve, and I

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>really don't like the flavoringhants are on it.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the six throe five.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I haven't actually tried it, so it probably tastes pretty good,

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 2>but it certainly wouldn't be my I think there's much

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 2>better options out there without flavor andhancism. To be honest

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>with heines, there're a big company. I'm a disappointed they

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be using flavor enhancers in soup when there's many

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>other options they could use herb spices, et cetera. And

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I think the protein a little bit low. Yes, it's

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>a vegetable soup. It's got too much added sugar. So

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 2>is it better than a big mac?

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course?

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Is it better than a cuppa soup?

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Of course?

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 2>But is it the best pouch soup out there? No, no,

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it is not.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>And for those looking at the nutrition label where we're

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>saying the MSG added if you look under contains flavor

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and hands is six three five. That's the added MSG

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>or the monocidium glutamate in that in that package soup.

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>So I think what the problem with this would be is.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>People would look at that and think, okay, veggi soup great,

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>low calorie great, like you know, less than two hundred

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>calories for a meal, you think great. But the bulk

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of that is just carbohydrate. So what do people put

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>with soup, Susie. They put bread, they put toast, or

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>they put a roll with carbohydrate. So you're getting a

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>massive whack of carbohydrate with this meal, very minimal fat,

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.040
<v Speaker 1>very minimal proteins. You've got nothing there to balance out

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the carbohydrate or slow down the digestion of the carbohydrate

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>in that as well. So I would probably I normally

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>like to use soupers and meal susy, But like you,

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I would probably just do half of this, add some

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>protein in there, add a little bit of healthy fat

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in there as well. So actually adding a little bit

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of say chicken rest in there and adding I don't know,

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>it's another sort of fat maybe on the side or

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>something as well. Do you really try to balance it

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>out to make that a better meal. If not, you're

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>basically just eating a big bowl of carbohydrate. You I'd

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>toast the side of that even more carbohydrate. You're just

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>not going to feel very full for very long that's

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>probably the downside of something like this. Although it is

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>low calorie, there is a ton of veggies in there.

0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>They're definitely bonuses in there. But I would probably like

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to see that protein a lot higher and the fat

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>contwn a little bit higher as well, if I was

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>looking to actually balance this out as a proper meal.

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>And of course we are being fussy because this is

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 2>our product review segment. We're not coming here to say

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>souper is bad or veggie soup is bad. It's our

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 2>job on these podcasts to really break down what's going

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 2>on with supermarket products. And we're certainly leanne because we've

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>had a little bit of feedback from people saying online,

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>you're recommending homemade soup. Well, of course we recommend homemade soup,

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>but sometimes we need quick and easy options. So this

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>is really breaking down out of the ones that are available.

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the reference point. We're only comparing these two products,

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to saying across the board, you're better to

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 2>have homemade or non sort of package soup in general.

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, So the second one that I wanted to

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>go through is actually one of my favorites. I don't

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>have a relationship with this company by any means. But

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>this is one of the pouchrips that I actually really

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>like myself and buy. It's the Lazupa Kale and Quinwa pouch.

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Now la Zupa have several different varieties of soup. They

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>have a bowl, they have a cup of soup, and

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 2>they have the pouches. Now they're bowls and cup of

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 2>soup are not my favorite. The bowls are really really

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 2>high in sodium. So it's only the pouches that I like.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.439
<v Speaker 2>And I really like this flavory. And so it's five

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty grams that retails for five dollars. Definitely

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I get two serves out of it. This one is

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>recommending two serves as opposed to the Heinzwe It does

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 2>recommend it to be one, which is slightly smaller.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>So when Lehn, I.

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Look at this ingredient list, it's just so beautiful. So

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>chicken stop fifty eight percent, which is water, chicken, carrot, onion, celery, salt,

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 2>then lentils, onions percent, corn, kale, brown rice, kinoa, herbs.

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love it.

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 2>It is so clean, perfection, like it is so clean.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I actually don't know how they make it taste so good.

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just an old school stock, which as

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>we know, is really flavorsome and delicious if you would

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 2>make it yourself at home. I love this taste. It's

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>so young.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Admittedly though, you wouldn't say it's a meal because when

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 2>we take a look at the nutritionals per serve, keep

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>in mind this two saves per pack. It's only looking

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>at it laughing. It's so low, less than one hundred

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>calories three hundred and ninety shuichilodels but leane. It's got

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>five grams of protein literally, no fat, two point nine

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>gram of sugars all naturally occurring, four grams of dietary fiber,

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 2>and seven hundred less than seven hundred milligrams of sodium.

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's the downside. It's not a meal. It's really

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 2>a free vegetable rich addition. So you would have to

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>have if you were having this as a meal, you

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 2>would have to have, say, crackers with tuna or salmon

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>on top, or a slice of protein toast with it.

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of quality of soup, this is the

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>most outstanding nutritional panel I reckon I've ever seen, and

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it tastes good because some of them. So I saw

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 2>this one in coal. It was brocoli cauliflower soup and

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought fantastic because I don't really like broccoli, but

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>it's good for us. And I thought, how fantastic a

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 2>broccoli coliflower soup with parmesan. But I couldn't eat it.

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't tasting taste choice.

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I actually think I had the exact same one. A

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>company sent me one, and I couldn't post about it

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>because it tasted awful as well, and I won't need

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the bread.

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And I wanted it to be so delicious and I thought, great,

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I can eat some broccoli, and it was just so

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the other thing. We need it to be tasting good.

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my one was it was plant based. It was

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.719
<v Speaker 1>like broccoli, and for the cheese, it was like a

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>cheesy broccoli, but the cheesy was like c H e Z,

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a vegan cheese. And they use nutritional,

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>nutritional yeast flakes, which I love when I'm a massive

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 1>fan of but oh the texture that tastes it was awful.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't do it. I was like, no, I can't

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>do it. So I'm awful. Veggie based soups, But you're right,

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>they have to they have to taste good. And this

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>this bass I think with the chicken stock and the

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>onion and the celery and the lentils and the corn,

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's a perfect combination of veggies. So

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a wonderful addition to tie you over between meals,

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't it, particularly coming into the winter months, or.

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>To bulk up a meal. Yeah, to have with your lunch,

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 2>to just get some delicious veg cheese. And it's so

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>good this suit. You don't even have to add cheese

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>on the top. It's so nice. But the other thing is,

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>if you were to make this soup, if you first

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>of all made the chicken stock, you would have to

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 2>get a carcass obviously and have had the chicken or

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 2>pay for that. Now, a clean stock like that with

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>not much in it is going to cost six at

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>least eight dollars. Then if you had to buy kale celery,

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 2>your soup's going to be quite pricey. So I think

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.720
<v Speaker 2>for five dollars for two serves, from a cost effective perspective,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you're only cooking for one or two people,

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 2>this is an outstanding product now in that pouch range,

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 2>there's several they're all pretty good. There's a chicken, one pumpkin, tomato.

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>They're all pretty good in terms of their nutrition. The

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 2>ingredient listare all clean. But I just really like this flavor,

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 2>so see what you think. But it absolutely wins my

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 2>soup every time. I think it's outstanding. The only downside

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>is it's very low calorie, so you would need a

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>bit more to bock it up as a meal. But

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>if you got home late from work you weren't very

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>hungry and just wanted a quick soup, keeping these and

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 2>lee and you don't even have to refrigerate them and

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 2>again in the cupboard, so handy.

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's perfect. Or you know, if you've over indulged

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>in a few too many Easter eggs, there might be

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a lovely any alternative with a little bit of protein

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>on the side or added into vulcan up, it could

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>be a lovely alternative.

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And we will say, you know, if we ever do

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>sponsored product reviews, we will very clearly say none of

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 2>these are sponsored or we don't have associations. If we do,

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>we will always say it, I don't have a sup association.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just a product I've liked for several years that

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to highlight. But you know, as we said,

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>in general, you're not going to go wrong with any

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of veggie based soup out there. Pouches are good.

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Just to a quick scan though, and try and avoid

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>the ones with added sugars and things like flavor enhancers

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 2>where you can the higher the vegetable content the better,

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 2>The higher the fiber and protein the better, and the

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 2>lower the sodium and you'll be on the right track.

0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>So if we've missed any soups, we'd love to see

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 2>ones that you also enjoy. As I said previously, we've

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.079
<v Speaker 2>done a plant protein one which we also very much

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 2>like that that's more of a meal. And yet any

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 2>of those fresh ones in supermarkets, the woolies, the coals,

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 2>the darrakai, are all very strong nutritionally with a really

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>high veggie content. So the more suit we have, the better.

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>There's really strong research to show that if you have

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>a bowl of veggie based soup before a meal, it

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 2>can reduce calorie intake by as much as one hundred

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 2>calories per meal just getting that bulk in your diet.

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a massive fan of soup and I think

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>enjoy more soup over the next few months and your

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 2>body and your nutrition will benefit of.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>It, all right, Suzzy. So that brings us to the

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>end of the Nutrition Couch product review for another week.
