How much calories does my moms vegetable stock have?

Question

since i hate eating vegetables my mom makes vegetable soup for me. she puts 3 cauliflowers, 2 carrots, and 1 chayote in a bowl of water. then we boil it for like 20 minutes. we add 1 tbsp of salt and 1 tbsp of sugar. i drink the soup thats made from those ingredients. but how do i calculate the amount of calories the soup has

Answer 1

Not very many calories.  A cup of cooked cauliflower has 28 calories.  A cup of carrots would have 52 calories.  Chayote is 22 calories a cup.  A tablespoon of sugar is 45 calories.

If you're only drinking the broth from it, I doubt you'd be getting more than 20 or 30 calories.

But, I'd be VERY concerned with that much salt!  A tablespoon of salt contains 7200 mg of sodium and we should eat no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium in a full day.
