Nutritional Summary
The product receives a 'POOR' rating primarily due to its extremely high sodium content, with a single serving containing 505mg, which is over 25% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. Additionally, sugar is the primary ingredient by weight, and the product contains multiple additives like flavour enhancers and thickeners, indicating it is highly processed. While low in calories and fat, the high sodium and added sugar content make it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Fortified Vegetable & Protein Tomato Soup
1. Prepare Knorr soup as per packet instructions. 2. In a separate pan, sauté 1/2 cup of finely chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, corn). 3. Add the sautéed vegetables and 1/4 cup of boiled chickpeas or paneer cubes to the prepared soup. 4. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Enhances the soup's nutritional value by adding fiber, vitamins, and protein, making it a more balanced light meal.
Lentil-Enriched Tomato Soup
1. Prepare the soup using 750ml of water instead of 600ml to dilute the mixture. 2. Add 1/4 cup of cooked and mashed red lentils (masoor dal) to the simmering soup to add thickness and protein. 3. Stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper before serving. 4. Garnish with toasted bread croutons.
Health Benefits
Reduces the sodium concentration per portion while increasing protein and fiber content with the addition of lentils.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Thickener (INS 415), Anti-caking agent (INS 551), Flavour Enhancers (INS 627 & 631), and Acidity Regulator (INS 330), are all approved by FSSAI and generally considered safe within regulated limits. The product's claim of 'No added preservatives' is supported by the ingredients list. However, the use of flavour enhancers suggests the product is highly processed.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'with 100% Real Vegetables' is potentially misleading. While the product does contain dehydrated vegetables and tomato solids, these constitute a small portion of the overall ingredients, with sugar and starch being the primary components. This could lead consumers to believe the product is more vegetable-based than it is. The 'No added preservatives' claim appears to be accurate. The slogan 'Great Taste is in our Nature!' is subjective puffery, but the taste is significantly engineered with high salt, sugar, and flavour enhancers.
