Soups

Hi

How do you work out the calorie and protein and fat content in soups that are homemade?

I have a soup recipe book but it doesn't tell me the information,

Thanks

I tend to look at the content on the individual ingredients I used and calculate it from that :-) Bit of a pain if there's lots of ingredients, but...

Yep, me too.

I put all the ingredients in as a meal, and then when the soup has cooled, I portion it up so that I can see how many it really made. That way, MFP works out the calories per portion for me.

Soups are usually pretty simple affairs in this house though, that rarely have more than 5 or 6 ingredients.
