Figured I'd post this here too for all the expert chefs here!
Hi guys,
Just wondering how to calculate the number of calories in a soup that I made that I have been eating every day.
This is the recipe I used, I got it from the French Women book, but had to change it for my tummy and what I had in the kitchen...
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 leek, sliced fine
2 small onions, quartered
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 small bunch of parsley, chopped
2 tsp of thyme
2 tsp pepper (I used some ground peppercorns to give it some kick)
Pinch of chipotle flakes
I boiled up the veggies, added the canned tomatoes, cooked for 1.5 hours. Then drained off the liquid and pureed it in the food processor and added some liquid back in until it was a nice consistency.
I have made it to serve 8, but I don't know how to calculate the calories. Thanks all!!
Cheers,
--Steph

This is a WW recipe and of course you would have to incorporate some SF.
2/3 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fat free broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)
1 1/2 cups diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini
In a large saucepan sprayed with PAM, saute the carrot, onion and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add everything else and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.
Makes 4 1 cup servings.

I've made this soup twice now, and I'm becoming addicted to it! It's so easy, and I make a huge double batch for a week's worth of lunches/snacks. Yummy!
I wonder if there is a way to incorporate a rating system into the recipe index? Like a "four out of five stars" type thing? And possibly a way to write reviews and have them connected to the recipes? I dunno how feasible this is, since I'm completely clueless when it comes to designing websites.

Hi Steather
lots of people already post reviews on the thread where they found the recipe, like you just did with the soup. The stars is a good plan though- I wonder if you emailed heather could she set something up that we could rate recipes?
