Alternative to eatting Soup?

I have been battling with either eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or maybe salads instead of eating soup for lunch everyday at work. I know with soup its high in sodium, has preservatives, BPA and MSG and I have went from weighting 143 pounds to 169 pounds in a years time from when I last went to the doctor. I didn't start eating soup everyday at work until around that time frame and did some research on soup. What could be some useful alternatives? Also, after I found out I gained weight I have started back up exercising now that the weather is getting warmer out.

The key to eating healthy is prep work. Make salads, topped with grilled chicken, fruits, and nuts. It takes about 4 minutes to grill an appropriately sized piece of chicken on a Foreman grill - you portion out your salads into Tupperware on Sunday evening, then each morning while getting dressed grill a piece of chicken. Don't put dressing on the salad until you get to work, unless you like really soggy lettuce.

Why don't you just make your own soup, then it'll be healthier. Not all soups you buy should be that unhealthy either, what brand do you get? Try Amy's soups.
