The best soda choice is one that does not have phosphate additives. It’s tricky because some brands may have a soda flavor without additives and another may have additives. It’s important to always read the ingredient label. Some kidney-friendly sodas include cream soda, ginger ale, grape soda, orange soda, lemon-lime soda, Sprite, 7Up, Sierra Mist, Slice and Squirt. Some brands of root beer are ok.

    It’s best to check the ingredients each time you buy it since manufacturers may change the recipe.

Good news–Most of the recipes on DaVita.com are diabetes and kidney-friendly. There are over 1,000 recipes to choose from. If you go to the Cookbook page you can download a diabetes cookbook with a 3 day meal plan, recipes and shopping list. You can also use DaVita Diet Helper which has DaVita Suggested meal plans based on your protein and potassium requirements. It’s a good way to start a kidney diet when you are unsure what to eat. There is also a CKD DaVita Dietitian available for counseling through the DaVita Eat Smart program.

I am unsure which soup recipe you are referring to but either type of low sodium broth should be fine.
