I am making a bean soup for dinner tonight. The kit includes a mix of beans and a seasoning packet, along with instructions on what to do with them. The instructions have a nutritional break down. Do you think that is prepared or unprepared?

    usually it's unprepared. I would add calories for whatever else you add to the mix.

    Its usually for unprepared. If you are just adding water, then you can just eat 1/4, 1/5, or whatever the servings per package is, of the soup. Another think I have done is to weight the empty pot, cook the soup, put the pot with cooked soup on the scale and then tare out the weight of the scale. Say the pot contents is 1500 grams and there are 5 servings, I weight the soup in a bowl for 300 grams. This is not really necessary once you are good at eyeballing quanities. I doubt a bean soup made any of us fat :)
