So, I got curious about this mulligatawny soup, never had it before, but the name sounded kinda fancy, right? I decided to dig into what’s really in this soup, nutrition-wise. You know, calories, carbs, fat, all that jazz.
First, I checked out a few different sources online. It’s like a wild goose chase, with numbers all over the place. One spot, I think it was called Nutritionix, said a bowl, which is about two cups, has some calories. They listed other stuff too, but it was mostly just numbers.
Then, I stumbled upon some info about different brands or restaurants. Like, there’s this one place, Souplantation or something, and their mulligatawny soup, one cup, has around 240 calories. They said about 29% of that is from carbs. Another one, Zoup!, their soup’s got only 100 calories per cup, with 55% carbs and 22% fat.
I found another source that broke down the calories even further. It said one cup of this soup has about 228 calories. And they had all these serving sizes, like per 100 grams and stuff. It was a bit much, but I guess some people really get into the details.
There was this other brand, Maya Kaimal, their version has 150 calories per cup. And the breakdown is like 45% carbs, 47% fat. It’s all over the place, right?
I even found this one breakdown that said per serving, it’s 311 calories, 30g carbs, 38g protein, 5g fat, and 7g fiber. I guess this one’s more protein-heavy?
It was kinda confusing. I mean, each place or brand has its own recipe, I guess. So the nutrition facts are all different. The information is all over the place. So, if you’re really watching what you eat, you gotta check the label or ask the restaurant for the details.
What I Learned
- Calories vary a lot: Depending on where you get it, a cup of mulligatawny soup can have anywhere from 100 to over 300 calories.
- Carbs and fat differ too: Some are more carb-heavy, others have more fat. It really depends on the recipe.
- Protein: Some versions seem to have a good amount of protein, which is cool.
Honestly, it was a bit of a headache trying to make sense of all these numbers. But I figured, it’s good to know what you’re eating, right? I ended up making my own version at home. That way, I know exactly what’s going in it. Plus, it was kinda fun playing chef for a day.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure with mulligatawny soup. It’s not just about the taste, but also what’s in it. Hope this helps someone out there who’s as curious as I was!
