Yes — Vegetable and roast chicken soup is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and flavor enhancer. Yeast extract is an industrially processed additive used to intensify savory flavor. The remaining ingredients are mostly vegetables, chicken, stock ingredients, dairy, herbs, spices, and basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of yeast extract is sufficient for a UPF classification.

This soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and flavor enhancer. Yeast extract is an industrially processed additive used to intensify savory flavor.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
