Condensed soups require adding liquid (e.g., a can of milk) and heating before eating; ready-to-serve canned soups only need to be warmed on the stovetop or in a microwave.
Common labels include gluten-free, USDA Organic, and non-GMO verification, along with claims like no added sugar, no artificial colors or flavors, no high fructose corn syrup, and low- or no-added-fat.
Typical instructions are to heat canned soups in a saucepan or microwave until hot. For condensed soups, add the required liquid (e.g., milk), then heat and stir. Bone broths can be sipped warm from a mug.
