Meat Broth Soup - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Meat Broth Soup

This broth soup contains more than strained stock. It includes cooked chopped lamb, onion, a flour mixture and butter. The source's 319 g prepared serving provides about 114 kcal, 8.5 g protein and 6.1 g fat.

Calculating a bowl

A weighed 200 g portion provides about 71 kcal, 5.3 g protein and 3.8 g fat. A bowl's fill level changes the serving weight. Weigh the soup and edible meat you will eat, without counting the bone.

Bread and butter added at the table are not included. The butter used in the recipe is already part of the soup's figures and should not be counted twice.

How it differs from plain stock

The recipe lists 150 g lamb, onion, water, two tablespoons of butter, three tablespoons of a flour mixture, salt and black pepper. Bone-in meat is simmered with onion, then removed from the bone, chopped and returned to the soup. A butter-and-flour mixture is combined with water, broth and meat before cooking continues.

This recipe does not include an egg-and-lemon thickener. The source does not identify the flour mixture's ingredients, so it cannot be described as plain wheat flour or as gluten-free. Butter is a dairy ingredient and also matters when checking allergens.

Plain beef stock does not replace this flour-thickened soup with meat pieces. Yoghurt-and-egg beef soup and egg-and-lemon wedding soup are also different recipes.
