Kidney-friendly homemade soup* served with a wholemeal roll
Opt for high-fibre ingredients like vegetables, beans and lentils. Shop-bought soups tend to be high in salt, so try making your own.
To pack your meal with flavour, without adding salt, try adding spices, different types of pepper or a spoonful of toasted sesame oil to your soup.
