The liquid lunch (we’re talking soup here) has the potential to be one of the world’s best midday meals: low in calories, laced with vegetables, and—thanks to the warmth—filling beyond its volume. The problem with most cans is that they’re either flavorless or steeped in enough sodium to preserve a small city. This one’s neither, and it’s conveniently portable. Stuff it in a lunch box with a sandwich and you’re ready for the day.
