Soup / Broth / Stock

miriamtorason

I have no idea where the right place for this is, but I'm trying to figure out how to add in a bone broth...

The gist of the recipe is:

Chicken bones
1 onion, quartered
5 cloves garlic
~1c baby carrots
2T cider vinegar
16c water, divided

You boil all the ingredients on the stove (only half of the water at first). Once a rolling boil is reached, reduce heat and let it simmer all day. When the liquid level gets low, add some more, up to a second 8c. When the day is done, remove from heat, cool, strain and put into jars as appropriate.

Obviously there will be some calories involved in this, but if everything in the soup gets strained out... how do you enter this into MFP for calorie/nutrition purposes?

Any suggestions?

There are hardly and cals in this especially if you let the stock chill over night and skim the fat. If the bones are pretty clean they are literally only adding flavor and no meat. I'd enter the recipe using the other ingredients and leave it at that. It would be very important to strain several times and skim the fat.

Try finding another recipe tool on the web and see what it says. You could also look up the calorie count for fat free-low/no sodium chicken broth and compare.
