How do you measure sweet potato soup?!

It's like more creamy so not like a full on liquid does that still count if I'm measuring it as a fluid ounce though? Thanks!

    Confused here ... are you measuring for liquid intake or for volume of food consumed?

    Is it homemade?

    Are you able to measure the soup by weight and then take out your portion?

    I would measure in ml myself since that is the measurement I am used to for liquid. Fluid ounces, for you I think.

    Like its my grandmas homemade soup so I don't have nutrition info but I was wondering if it would be measured in grams, ml, fluid ounces, ounces etc.

    Is it chunky or just creamy?

    If creamy, then using a measuring cup/ml is fine, especially since you'll be estimating anyway :)

    Ask your grandma for the recipe, and how many cups it makes. There's a recipe thingie here where you can type in the ingredients. When I do that for soups and stews, I put in the number of cups as the number of servings. Then if I have 2 cups of stew, I just tell MFP I've had two servings.

    If you're asking whether it can count as one of your cups of water as well, I'd say you could count it as a half-cup of liquid.

    You can measure it in whatever measurement you want, grams, ml, ounces they all amount to the same weight, it all depends on how you choose to log it depending on the measurements you choose in the database.

    Personally, I'd measure it in grams because it's rather thick (plus measuring it out into a measuring cup would be a huge pain...) but I think both mass or volume measurements are possible and accurate for a creamy soup. :)
