Default Calculating Home Made Soup?

We roasted a 1.25kg (2.75lb) chicken last night with 1 cup mushrooms, 1 cup kohlrabi. We ate the breasts, and we always make soup the next day.

Today I stuck the rest of the chicken, on the carcass, into a pot. I filled the roasting pan with boiling water. I drained the pan into the pot, added more water, and simmered it for 3 hours to make stock.

I then retained the stock, picked the chicken, put all the meat into the pot, threw out the bones and gave the skin to the dog. (Wag wag wag...) I added 100g / 1 cup of mushrooms to the stock and meat and added two chicken stock cubes to make soup, reheated it, and put it through a blender.

How in the world do I calculate the carbs for this? Or enter it in FitDay?

PS: I have about 1200ml /40floz of soup here

Oh... maybe it doesn't really matter - just count the mushrooms carbs?

The fact my FitDay will be off is going to really annoy me though.

Do you have a food scale?
There are programms on the net you can down load or maybe use on the net to do things like this
I have used fitday for all of my recipes. I find a unused day (like the next day) I add in all the ingredients as best I can - then I use my calculator for the portion size. And make a custom entry for the food. I do this with all frequently made dishes like spaghetti sauce, chili etc.

Groovy, thanks!

I ended up looking up Chicken Soup on FitDay and replacing the carb count per cup after a bit of math, and I'm going to be satisfied with that for this go.

Next go I will measure.

Take the chicken off the bone before you make your chicken stock. The chicken will retain its flavor & won't be stringy. Also add a bit of white vinegar to the pot before making the stock. The vinegar helps pull the marrow out of the bones giving you better flavor.

Enjoy your soup!

I use the PC version of FitDay which allows you to enter in all the ingredients of a recipe and it then does the nutritional stats. Then I can easily save it as a custom food. Not sure if the online version has this feature. If not, SparkPeople has a free recipe calculator.

I find that the homemade soups have much different (better) stats than any of the pre-fab FitDay ones. I make chicken or turkey frame soup like yours a lot (vary the veggies and voila! different soup) and find it is a wonderful way to eat my veggies when its cold out.
