That Covent Garden soup aint too bad, but yeah making your own is always the one.
Is it just me or have the 'health fascists' turned Supermarket food into bland, tasteless mush?

Yorkshire Provender are good fresh soups. The best tinned soup by far is Crosse & Blackwell. That’s really chunky and tasty.

Cross & Blackwell have always been good, Campbells were good too but they've fallen off a bit.

As you suggest, people often have more than a "portion", which means you are then looking at up to 50% of your salt intake from a single meal.
So they are quite salty if you eat the whole pot. "All supermarket soup is incredibly salty" was kinda rubbish.

But they are incredibly salty! They are much saltier than a homemade soup would be. If you consume them regularly it would be easy to exceed your salt intake.
Easier to just buy the ingredients and make your owns soups but if you want to grow your own then it will taste even better. But beware when you start growing your own everything tastes bland apart from your own produce.
The RDA of salt has been significantly reduced since the nanny state health fascists got their way, so the salt content is very small compared to what it used to be when the RDA was a larger amount.
Saying nanny state health fascists is making you look a bit stupid, the RDA comes from science, it isn't just made up to make your food bland. If you don't like it cook your own.
It's very easy for your salt taste to become normalised. After I'd lived in China for a few years, when I moved back to Europe, *everything* tasted ridiculously salty for a few months until I got used to the amount of salt in our diet again.
Salt is incredibly cheap, if you're really determined to raise your blood pressure and heart disease risk, just sprinkle as much as you like on your food, and then moan when you're left on a trolley in a hospital corridor for days as no-one takes any personal responsibility for their health here anymore.

Just buy ingredients and make things. It's not rocket science.
Stop crying about a nanny state when you can easily sort it out for yourself.

With that attitude, you should have stayed in China lol
