Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 6 ingredients to avoid

Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese Soup scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g fiber, 4g protein and 2g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese Soup lists 33 ingredients, starting with Chicken Broth, Broccoli, Modified Food Starch, Parmesan Cheese and Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

110 kcal per serving, or 45 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese Soup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese Soup scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Kirkland Signature Organic Chicken Bone Broth at 72/100.
