Ready or not, cooler fall temperatures are just around the corner. If you're craving a hot bowl of soup on these cooler autumn afternoons but pinched for meal-prep time, canned soups are here to the rescue. While nothing truly compares to a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup, healthy canned soups can provide the same comfort and delicious taste ... in a fraction of the time.
PSA: Canned soups can often be loaded with sneaky amounts of sodium, cholesterol, or fat, so it's important to be vigilant when reading those ingredient labels before buying. Luckily, we've done that part for you to help narrow down your search for only the healthiest canned soups, plus a few nutrient-loaded broths that we also love. Slurping season has arrived.

1Campbell's Well Yes! Cauliflower & Roasted Potato Sipping Soup (8-Pack)
Part of Campbell’s line of Well Yes! soups with clean ingredients and no added sugars, this cauliflower and roasted potato sipping soup is one of our favorite flavors to date.
Much easier to sip straight from the container instead of cracking open a can, this is a delicious, healthy, and convenient meal choice.
If you're watching your sodium intake, this light-in-sodium organic lentil soup from Amy's will be your new best friend this season. Loaded with organic veggies in a simple, short ingredient list, this lentil soup is a healthy canned soup choice.
3Campbell's Chunky Healthy Request Old Fashioned Vegetable Beef Soup (12-Pack)
Campbell's might not be a brand that you think of when you want to start eating healthier, but their Healthy Request line will make you reconsider. This canned veggie beef soup is actually quite low in cholesterol and an excellent source of protein.
Bonus: The can has an easy-to-open pull-tab for ultimate convenience.
These BPA-free cans are packed full of fiber (8 grams!) from the lentils and vegetables. The ingredients aren't mushy like many canned soups, and each can has 50% less sodium than typical soups.
OK, this soup is not technically in a can, but it is really delicious. When you hear the word "creamy," you may gravitate toward chowders, but this vegan, tomato-based soup uses a soy base for a creamy texture to keep calories and fat lower. Plus, it's gluten-free.
While this tasty and healthy broth from Nona Lim doesn't come in a can, it does come in something much more convenient: A ready-to-microwave sipping cup. Made with coconut cream, lemongrass, and ginger, this Thai-style creamy broth is a meal in and of itself.
We love the brand's full range of nutritious bone broths as a base for healthy, flavorful soups once the temperatures drop, but we're especially loving these single-serving sipping soups.
All right ... we know this isn't technically a canned soup, but every soup starts with a delicious broth, right? Right! We've been obsessed with Zoup! for many moons, and this Savory Vegan Veggie Broth is the tastiest pick from the brand's lineup.
Made without any artificial ingredients, this savory vegan broth is loaded with nutrients and is literally good enough to drink straight from the jar.
