I log it as a recipe and divide it up into even portions, then put that in as a serving. So if you get 4 portions you put the recipe as 4 servings. Even if you eat 1 and a half portion, you log 1.5 serving.

I weight and cal count for each ingredient. I then weight the finished product. Divide the weight by how any servings I want (I base servings on how many calories I'd like in an average meal). Set that number of servings in the recepie. I then change the name to tomato soup 300g serv.
