Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It varies with both the soup and who made and how big the can is. Campbell's cream of Mushroom soup contains (condensed) contains 650 mg of sodium

Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup (not condensed) contains 860 mg of sodium. Look at the difference between the two. Same product. (Mushroom Soup -- Cream) Same company making it. Same size. Different contents.

This is likely a Canadian Can which is 280 mL. I think it is 4 oz in the United States.

Not a simple question. My advice: read the labels. Buy which ever has the lowest sodium content. High blood pressure usually results from sodium intake. If you choose the 860 mg can, the intake is about 21% of the recommended daily intake and you haven't even begun to eat that hamburger you have been drooling over for the past hour.
