Soup recipe - how to get serving

paperpudding

I am not sure what I am missing here.
Have logged a few other recipes but I knew from experience that they served 3 serves.
I don't know how many my soup would serve.

I logged all the ingredients (except the water) and weighed the crockpot container empty before starting - it weighed 2168 grams.
The container filled with soup weighed 5000g so the soup itself weighs 2822g.
but how do I put that into servings - at present it says 1 person and total calories 1651 but that's just by ingredient total, - but of course I wont be eating whole crockpot of soup myself in 1 serve.

How do set a single serve of, say, 100g?
100g would be easiest and then change individual servings to 2.5 or whatever - sometimes might have a large bowl or a small bowl and will adjust each serving accordingly.

Help ?????

I'm thinking weigh a ladle and add it.

If you want 100g servings, there would be approximately 28 servings based on the weight of the soup.

Set the number of servings as 28.22 and then each serving weighs 100 g

So if you eat 164 g then its 1.64 servings

Its the same as any recipe just take the total cooked weight and divide that by 100 to get the number of 100 g servings

For my homemade soups is two full ladles, and I always use the same ladle.

If you want 100g servings, there would be approximately 28 servings based on the weight of the soup.

so do I just set the thing to say it serves 28 people and then adjust each serving from that - ie if a bowl is 200g call it 2 servings

So basically just divide the total weight by 100 to get 100g servings (rounding off real total 2832 to 2800) and call it that many serves? - Oh that is really easy, thank you :flowerforyou:

I've called my recipe Potato and Bacon soup 100g serves to remind me next time.

Yes thank you, I understand now :flowerforyou: - its just that my other recipes (main meals, not soups) I just called "serves 3 " because I've made them before and I just know it makes enough for 3 people, I didn't actually weight the total amount.

this is going to work much better for me than ladles - as I don't always use a ladle and the amount per time will vary - might have large bowl one time and then take some to work in thermos another time etc
