Soup, instant, dried, as served

Instant soup is a dried soup powder mixed with water and served as a liquid. These figures describe the prepared soup across assorted flavours, rather than the dry powder. It provides mainly carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of fat and protein. Per 100g, it contains 156 kJ of energy, 6.2g of carbohydrate, 1.3g of fat and 0.57g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as the total consumed depends on how much prepared soup is eaten. Nutrient content can vary by flavour and how much water is added. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
