Ok Barbara, How do you know you are getting a 1/3 cup of pasta in your soup. Do you have the pasta separate and add it to your soup base when you get ready to eat it??? Stupid question i know but i definately need help in the kitchen and planning menus. Thanks

lbandkid, 22 pounds only dropped me one size as well. But my husband works out and has weights around. So when I get in the dumps, he hands my 20 pounds! It is heavy! Hang in there.

Hi Kim,
I know you asked Barbara the question, but I have the pasta separate and then measure and add it when it is served. It is the only way I could figure out how to do it.

Thanks Lynn, that is what i figured. Just wanted to make sure. It definately taste better when the pasta gets to pick up the flavor of being in the soup. I probably will make the pot of soup and then add the pasta to individual servings to take to school. Thanks

Lynn, I just make it for my DH and my self, and add in 2/3 cup and he gets half and I get half... same with any meat that I add in. I just double it and then split in half. Only problem is if he doesn't eat all his half.. then I have to have the self control to feed it to the dog and not eat it myself.

Barbara,
I totally agree with you if the recipe is for only 2 servings. When I answered, I was thinking of recipes that are for more than 2 servings because then it gets hard to get the serving size of the starch correct.

Lynn - I love your mottos

Thanks, Shannon
