What to know about Yu Creamy Tomato Soup with Macaroni
A macaroni tomato soup with fibre and a salty edge
Yu Creamy Tomato Soup with Macaroni is a freeze-dried soup sachet of 50 g. The list starts with tomatoes and durum wheat macaroni, then cream, butter, sunflower oil, garlic, onion, black pepper, sugar, salt, basil, corn flour, sesame seeds, spring onions and peanuts. No percentages are declared. It is sold to people who want a soup with some bite, and the pack says 'Soup made to eat. Not just sip'.
Per 100 g the soup has 145 kcal, 6 g protein, 7.2 g fibre and 5.7 g fat, of which 0.8 g is saturated. Added sugar is 0.5 g. Sodium is 378 mg. The pack serves two, with a serve printed as 150 g once made up with water.
The front is full of promises: no maida, no MSG, zero preservatives, natural ingredients. The list backs these up, since it holds no additives and the pasta is durum wheat. The 'wholesome' wording does less work, because salt and energy still count. CleanPlate scores it CA3.

Adequate nutrient density

- 6 g
- Fibre
- 7.2 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 145 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 6 g per 100 g and fibre is 7.2 g, both fairly strong for a soup. Most of the protein comes from the durum wheat macaroni, which is why the grade moves up from the bottom.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to it. Fat is 5.7 g per 100 g, from cream, butter and sunflower oil, and energy is 145 kcal.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and made of kitchen ingredients: tomatoes, macaroni, cream, butter, sunflower oil, garlic, onion and spices. No additive is listed and no hydrogenated fat, so no ingredient points are lost to them.
Nothing on the pack is a hollow promise. The no maida, no MSG and zero preservatives claims hold, and sugar and salt sit well down the list.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0.5 g
- Sodium
- 378 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sodium is the biggest driver after energy: 378 mg per 100 g, which takes a large share of the risk number. Energy at 145 kcal per 100 g adds more.
Saturated fat is 0.8 g per 100 g, added sugar is 0.5 g and trans fat is 0 g, so these play only a small part. Risk lands on a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
