Potato Soup with Beef Broth - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Potato Soup with Beef Broth

This potato soup combines beef stock with milk, wheat flour and margarine. The source's prepared 265 g serving provides about 159 kcal. A thicker soup, a cream-based version or one made with a different amount of fat will not necessarily match it.

Calories in a bowl

A weighed 250 g bowl provides about 150 kcal, 5.1 g protein and 7.75 g fat. A smaller 150 g share has about 90 kcal. Subtracting the empty bowl's weight from the filled bowl gives the amount of soup without assuming a fixed bowl size.

Bread added alongside is separate. The recipe's chilli-fat topping is already included, so counting that same topping again would overstate the total.

Milk and the chilli topping

The recipe includes five potatoes, two small onions, plain beef stock, two heaped tablespoons of wheat flour, 200 ml whole milk and four tablespoons of margarine. Peeled potatoes cook in the stock and are passed through a sieve; cooking continues after the milk is added.

Two tablespoons of margarine are used with the onions and two in the chilli topping. Flour appears in the ingredient list, but the published method does not specify when it is added. The beef stock makes this a non-vegetarian recipe; it also contains milk and wheat.

Yayla soup with meat stock instead uses rice, yoghurt and egg yolk. Equal bowl weights do not make the two recipes identical.

Values are Dietkolik's recipe estimate. Ten declared servings do not establish the finished pot weight, and liquid millilitres have not been converted directly into grams. Total sugars, saturated fat and vitamin A in RAE remain unknown.
