No — Tomato & Basil Soup is not ultra-processed.
Ingredients are simple, mostly single-ingredient foods (tomatoes, water, onion, sunflower oil, cane sugar, herbs, corn starch, sea salt, garlic, oregano) with no ultra-processed additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, industrial syrups, flavor enhancers, or artificial/natural flavourings. Corn starch is a basic culinary ingredient, and organic status does not change NOVA classification. Therefore this is not an ultra-processed food under the given criteria.

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.
