This reminds me of my days watching travel videos of people who actually have gone to Italy. I have to rely on soups. Alas, I have no wine. This could be a problem.
Tuscan white bean soup
Good day YouTubers gonna try some zppa toana Tuscan white bean soup lessy autentico 6 o 170 Gams pause as needed I have tried the split pea soup and it was good the only thing you have to watch out for is the serving size and sodium because they pack a lot of sodium in
These manufactured again in the USA by vgo importing company Tampa Florida uh basically the same cooking instructions as the split p and let me see if I can get the ingredients to show up properly so yeah same uh same cooking instructions I think I’m going to add
Some chicken to this one because I’ve already got some chicken cooked we’ll see this [Applause] is okay so what’s my verdict on the Tuscan white bean soup well here it is in the pan it has cooled down here’s a handy little tip too if you have an electric stove usually one
Of the back burners has a vent for the oven portion and so if you’re baking something in the oven during the winter time uh you can kind of do double duty without actually activating the burner if you’re making some tea for example or you want to keep a
Soup um hot you can just put it above the burner that has the vent for the oven while you’re baking something in the oven so that heat from the oven that you can keep whatever it is that you place on this burner uh at a hot temperature because the heat from the
Oven is directly coming up through that vent pipe so if you put if you’re going to bake bread for example you could just put your soup on that back burner if you’re going to baked bread for an hour this soup will be hot after one hour and
Without even turning the dials on the burner is just the heat coming out of that vent pipe so little tip there here’s the soup uh tuskin white bean soup it is moderately thick and it’s got really good flavor uh I added the chicken uh thumbs up on the flavor and
Consistency all that the problem is listed on the back and that is the serving size and the sodium level which is 32% 730 migr and that’s per serving and they they count calculate the serving size is 1/3 of a cup so here’s where the reading labels comes into play If you believe
What’s written on the label the serving size is listed as a third of a cup but they make a notation there that it’s dry 42 gram then underneath they say about one cup prepared so those of us you in the US uh are familiar with what one cup
Is and that would be a suitable snack for most people so you just have to be careful about how much you consume in a given day especially if you’re on a sodium restricted diet because that one cup prepared is 730 MGR approximately whopping 32% of your recommended daily
Value I’ll show the uh ingredients again pauses need be so yeah comes up on Flavor just uh be cautious on the sodium level and the amount that you’re going to consume in one day because if you ate the whole thing you’d be definitely over your recommended amount of sodium for the day
Um I really wish a lot of these prepared soups like this would be lower in sodium and some of the Lessie pack packages are um one of them that I’m going to review is down around 550 migam so definitely prefer the sodium to be on the lower
Side but really good flavor on the Tusk and white bean so there you have my review because a lot of people can easily eat this whole container the entire amount the 6 oz 170 G that I made in this pot there are a lot of people who can eat this entire
Serving they’re saying you’re going to get four servings per container approximately well you multiply 730 mg * 4 and that’s the number of uh milligrams of sodium you’re getting I give it thumbs up on the flavor really good flavor and texture and all that but man the sodium’s just killer on these
Things uh I would like to see a much lower sodium level on these and I know what everybody’s going to say and what the company would probably say is if we reduce the sodium that much the flavor is going to disappear there’s other herbs and spices in this besides just sodium so
Why not leave it to the individual person to decide to grab the salt shaker and add a little bit instead of automatically including it so fair warning on the sodium level thumbs up on the taste texture and I added the chicken that’s a thumbs up so
I will be eating this entire pot but I certainly won’t be eating it in one day this is going to stretch out over 4 days maybe 5 days and uh that’s because of that high sodium level so there’s my review on the alessie tuskin white bean soup hey thanks for watching
