If you are craving some soup and crusty bread for lunch, or maybe you just don't feel like cooking, you might be tempted to crack open a can of Heinz lentil soup, but is it high in syns?
Heinz lentil soup has around 5 syns for half a can or 10 syns for their full can, making them high in syns, we, therefore, suggest having this soup in moderation by weighing out your portion size.
We've put together a short syn guide below which will take you through why Heinz lentil soup is so high in syns, some syn values of Heinz soup as well as some low syn alternative soups from other brands and a recipe to save syns!
At 5 syns for half, Heinz lentil soup is very high in syns, the whole can would use 10 syns which is over half of your daily syn allowance. This lentil soup gets its high syn value from the lentils themselves and sugar content due to the added ingredients.
This doesn't mean you can't enjoy some of this soup occasionally on the plan, however, but we would suggest sticking to a half-can portion rather than a whole can portion to avoid using too many syns.

Syn values are calculated using a formula based on calories, saturated fat and sugar content per serving. They’re not the same as calories — a product can be low in calories but higher in syns if it’s high in sugar or fat. Always check the official Slimming World app for the most accurate and up-to-date syn values.
Yes. When manufacturers reformulate their products, the syn value can go up or down. This is why we recommend double-checking with the Slimming World app or your consultant, especially if a product’s packaging has changed recently.
Most Slimming World members work with 5 to 15 syns per day. Your consultant will advise on the right amount for you. The key is to use your syns on the things you enjoy most — whether that’s a chocolate bar, a glass of wine, or a packet of crisps.
