Soup - help with points.

  • 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.

  • How much bok choy, mushrooms, spinach, & sugar snap peas?
  • 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.

    I haven't tried freezing it.
