Borscht?

I have acquired borscht, made by one of the lovely ladies at church. I'm having a hell of a time settling on a calorie count for it, as the database has entries ranging from 50~250kcal. It's vegetarian, chunks of beet, carrot, potato, celery, and cabbage, no dairy or beans. I'm thinking it's on the lower-calorie side, but it looks like there's quite a bit of oil, and the potatoes probably add some sustenance. Any ideas?

    All you can do is guess...go with the highest number IMO.

    I'd call it about 150-200 calories per cup if you can see oil. Last time I made borscht I lightly fried/sauteed the cabbage and onions in a bit of oil before it went in the pot. And my beets and carrots were oven-roasted and tossed with a bit of oil as well.
