Munch or Dump rates Vegetable and Roast Chicken Soup by Yorkshire Provender OKAY — score 60/90.

A genuinely whole-food soup — half real vegetables plus roast chicken, cream and herbs, with no artificial additives. The only knocks are yeast extract and saturated fat from cream and butter.

Why this verdict

• 49% real vegetables plus genuine roast chicken lead the list
• No artificial colors, flavors, emulsifiers, or modified starches
• Double cream and butter push up saturated fat
• Yeast extract adds free glutamates and sodium for savory punch
• Salt appears in the base, the stock, and the bouillon

Ingredients (10)

• Vegetables (potato, carrot, onion, savoy cabbage, broccoli, leek, celeriac, parsnip, celery) (49%) (safe) — Nearly half the soup is real, recognizable whole vegetables — fiber, vitamins and minerals.
• Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
• Chicken / roast chicken (5%) (safe) — Real chicken providing protein.
• Roast chicken stock (moderate) — Flavor base built from roast chicken, potato, yeast extract and salt; boosts sodium.
• YEAST EXTRACT (safe) — Concentrated deactivated yeast that supplies natural glutamates for the savory flavor plus B vitamins; a whole-ish food, not a synthetic additive.
• Double Cream (Milk) (moderate) — Adds richness but brings saturated fat and calories.
• Unsalted butter (milk) (moderate) — More saturated fat for mouthfeel.
• Potato flake / potato starch (safe) — Simple potato-derived thickeners, not chemically modified starch.
• Salt (moderate) — Adds sodium; fine in moderation but the main reason to watch portion size.
• Spices and herbs (turmeric, black pepper, mace, nutmeg, lovage, parsley, thyme, garlic) (safe) — Real seasonings for flavor, no health downside.
