How do I figure out the nutrional value of a soup I made tonight. This is the recipe:
1 onion
1 head of cabbage chopped
1 pkg of turkey sausage
3 carrots
3 celery stalks
1 can ok bushes kidney beans
1 8oz can of tomato sauce
1 14oz can of stewed tomatoes
3 cups of chicken broth
garlic
thyme
bay leaf
3 tsp EVOO- I should of used Pam :(

I makes a huge pot of soup but I have no idea how to find the value in the bowl I ate.

    I have added my fav recipes one meal, then saved it as 'save as meal' I have them with my name first so I can always find my fav recipes.

    I can pretty much determine how many cups by adding all the cups of stuff I made it with!

    then I just choose 1/10th of my soup recipe.

    A pain at first, but once it is all logged in the next time you make it you even have the recipe!!

    ARE WE THERE YET- I love your dog!! :-)

    I didn't realize spark people had that tool. I used WW before and they allow you to enter the recipe and how many servings it makes, ect, and the ONLY complaint I have about MFP is that recipes are hard to do...but saving as meal may be the way to go..thanks for the advice!!

    AND I would love to try the soup also!!!

    Ok according to spark people there is only 236. cals and thats a huge bowl! I put 5 servings but really it's more like 6 or 7 servings so the cals are less! I saved it under Cris' homemade Turkey sausage and cabbage soup. I had it again tonight and it was even better!
