Vegetable Classics Macaroni & Bean Soup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Progresso Vegetable Classics Macaroni & Bean Soup scores 8/100 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 13g fiber, 16g 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 Vegetable Classics Macaroni & Bean Soup lists 21 ingredients, starting with Water, Great Northern Beans, Cooked Macaroni, Semolina Wheat and Egg White. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

350 kcal per serving, or 142 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Progresso Vegetable Classics Macaroni & Bean Soup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 8/100 Progresso Vegetable Classics Macaroni & Bean Soup scores worse than most soups & broths we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soups & broths is Pacific Foods Organic Unsalted Chicken Bone Broth, 3 x 32 oz at 98/100.
