I would agree this dish, in its original state, wouldn't qualify as 'healthy'. But a few minor changes would take it much closer and keep it just as yummy.
Rather than using 2 cans of condensed cream soups try using 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom or chicken which is low sodium and low calorie. Then substitute plain yogurt for the other can of soup. I personally would layer sliced fresh mushrooms along with the rest of your choice of vegetables, use the cream of chicken and reduce the amount of potatoes to a like amount of one of the other vegetables used. Just a very thin layer is all thats needed. Also use lean pork loin rather than the much fattier pork chops. Rather than adding salt I would sprinkle with Paprika. Even using the low sodium type canned creamed soup your already getting plenty enough salt in the casserole. Paprika is a wonderful salt substitute.
I could see this made using medium sliced lean pork loin, pre-cooked sliced layers of acorn squash in place of the potatoes, layered with sauteed apple and pear slices, raisins and a wonderful plain yogurt spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg to tie it all together. Which would take it mugh higher on the 'healthy' scale.
