How many points in Broccoli Cheese Soup?

[becka]

I can barely swallow today because my throat hurts so badly so I went for soup at lunch today. The only two choices were Red Bean soup or Broccoli Cheese. I am not a big fan of bean soup so I went with a bowl of the broccoli cheese.

My food guide only has cream of broccoli soup listed at 5 pts/cup. Does anyone have any idea how to count broccoli cheese soup?

Checked DWLZ.com she has Ruby Tuesday's Broccoli Cheese Soup listed as 2 points for 3.53 ozs. Seems pretty low to me...that must be a small portion.

Hope this helps.

I found several recipes for broccoli-cheese soup, and it looks like they usually range from 5-7 points per cup. Here's one of the recipes, which looks pretty tasty!

(The Ruby Tuesday's portion size of 3.53 ounces is less than 1/2 cup- that's not much soup!)

Hope you feel better soon, Becka!

I looked up Cheddar Cheese Soup on the Fitday site and based on the nutritional info it would be 5 pts for 1 cup. Since Broc/Cheese soup is sort of a combination of both Broc Soup and Cheddar Cheese soup, I would just use the 5 pts per cup. It sure would be easier to figure this if restaurants would provide their nutritional info on their sites!
