Would you eat cold soup straight out of the can?

Alix Earle released a 14-second TikTok discussing her habit of eating cold soup straight from the can.

"Is that okay to do?" Earle asked a shocked audience. Her video now has 3.6 million views, and even Campbell's Chunky brand account commented "Alix plz."

While some viewers believe cold canned soup can make you sick, Progresso stepped in to clarify with a statement: "Our soups can be consumed cold but whatever temperature you prefer, we agree with Alix that soup is elite."

Heating up canned soup can enhance flavors and help you stay warm, but it is apparently safe to eat right out of the can.

Earle is by no means the first person to wonder about the practice. The question was posted on the website The New Survivalist in 2020, and the article explained that canned soup is perfectly safe to eat.

“The primary reason to heat up canned soup is to enhance its flavors and to help keep you warm when it’s cold,” that article said. “There’s nothing unhealthy about eating cold canned soup.”
