When I'm really trying to cut sodium, I'd even use a full can of water then add in herbs and an acid (lemon juice or vinegar) to offset the missing salt. I'd often also add in something to boost the umami, e.g. shiitake mushrooms or even MSG. Studies show that you can use up to ⅓ less salt without sacrificing flavor by adding MSG.* While MSG (MonoSODIUM Glutamate) also has sodium, it's much less than that in salt.
In other words. I use Progresso soups as a base for a much heartier (and healthier) meal

* Yes, seven decades of international research has shown MSG to be perfectly safe. That's why it's not banned in any country. In fact, the so-called "Chinese restaurant syndrome" allegedly caused by MSG seems to have started as a [possibly racist] joke. The Chinese-American doctor who reported the syndrome doesn't seem to exist. His name doesn't appear in any medical registry of the time when the report was published. Commentators have even said that the doctor's supposed Chinese name is a pun. Look it up if you're interested.
Regardless, the report spread into mainstream American culture and MSG got bad rap. But not one study has confirmed the supposed side effects of MSG in healthy people -- not even in Asia, where it's a part of every pantry. As such, I have no qualms about adding MSG or recommending MSG to our hypertensive patients.
Recently I've been using their new protein+fiber fortified "Southwest-style Blackbean Soup", and then throwing in a can of diced tomatoes, and some extra beans (black or dark kidney), and sometimes some kale or some other kind of green.
It tastes good, really nutritious, lasts several days, etc etc. And best of all, is barely any more cleanup than just making the one can of soup for one small meal.
