Italian Style Slow Simmered Lentil Soup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Rao's Italian Style Slow Simmered Lentil Soup scores 36/100 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, 6g protein and 4g 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.

Rao's Italian Style Slow Simmered Lentil Soup lists 26 ingredients, starting with Chicken Broth, Lentils, Carrots, Diced Tomatoes and Red Pepper. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

140 kcal per serving, or 56 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Rao's Italian Style Slow Simmered Lentil Soup on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 36/100 Rao's Italian Style Slow Simmered Lentil 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.
