I made this soup last night. I have trouble trying to figure out points for everything! Can someone please help me out? It ended up being a good 6-7 cups of soup. Here are the ingredients:
1 can FF veg broth (15 cals/cup)
1 can LF chiken broth (25 cals/cup)
10 medium shrimp
1/4 cup rice
and then I threw in tons of the following, freshly cut:
bok choy
yu choy
mushrooms
spinach
sugar snap peas
It was very, very good by the way. I had 2 cups as a serving.
all those veggies are freebies so I wouldn't worry about them.
The broths are freebies for 1 cup.
So you only need to count for the rice...was 1/4 cup cooked or uncooked? That makes a difference. Uncooked I would say about 3 points cooked it is only 1 point.
The shrimp would probably be 1 point for 2 max but it is best to weight them.

I followed the nutrition facts for the shrimp and I believe it was 2 pts per 5 shrimp. So my pts would be 1 per 2 cups, and then I'll add pts depending on how many shrimp I have.
That soup sounds wonderful I will have to try making it. Yum! Have you tried freezing it at all? I like to make soup ahead of time. Zero point soup is my lifesaver.
I love it. I made it last night with only vegetable broth, and it wasn't the same, so I'm going to continue to use chicken broth. I use 1/4 cup cooked rice, just so you get a little bit in each serving.
Soup - help with points.
