Instacart Study Identifies Top Canned Soup in New Mexico, Contrasting With Local Preferences
A recent InstaCart study investigated the most-purchased canned soup in New Mexico, differentiating it from traditional local favorites such as green chile soups and pozole.

Albuquerque Santa Fe, NM, November 5, 2026 — A recent study by grocery delivery platform InstaCart has identified the most purchased canned soup in New Mexico. The findings reveal a preference that diverges from some traditional local favorites, according to the study.
The investigation, conducted by InstaCart, aimed to understand consumer purchasing habits for canned soup within the state. While New Mexico is known for its distinct culinary landscape, which often features green chile soups and pozole, the study’s primary finding highlights a different canned soup as the top seller. The specific brand and type of this most-purchased canned soup were not detailed in the provided summary, nor was the exact methodology or timeframe of the study. Similarly, the specific sales volume or market share for this product compared to local favorites was not specified.
InstaCart’s analysis sought to pinpoint which canned soup product garners the most consumer interest and purchases. The outcome of this investigation suggests a shift or a differing consumer preference in the canned soup market compared to deeply ingrained local culinary traditions. The summary did not provide details on whether this trend is increasing or decreasing, or any specific reasons cited for this differentiation in purchasing behavior. Information regarding the cost of the most purchased soup or its availability across different retail channels was also not made available.
Further details regarding the specific canned soup identified as the most popular, the methodology used by InstaCart to reach this conclusion, and a comparison of its sales figures against traditional New Mexican soups like green chile and pozole were not provided in the summary. The full scope of the study’s findings, including any regional variations within New Mexico or demographic breakdowns of purchasers, remains undisclosed.
