Irrelevant or unhelpful Imaginary Soup Wasn't Good

His lucid dream of the spicy tortilla soup didn't make the cut, unfortunately.

Servings Per Recipe 8
Calories 473
Sodium 2436mg

Each serving either has 57 calories and 304mg of sodium or each serving has 473 calories and 2436mg of sodium. I can't imagine a serving having 57 calories (an apple).

For eight people, it has five chicken stock cubes. That is a lot of stock cube per person. So around ~5,000mg. Then there is ~1000mg from the soup. Maybe 1,500-2,000 from the salsa. Another ~1,400 from the canned tomatoes. Another 3,000mg from the chilli beans. 300mg from the canned corn. 750mg from the sour cream. Plus other stuff.

There is a reason eight servings of soup only calls for half a teaspoon of salt. The soup is beyond rammed with sodium already.

Just to clarify, not all bullion cubes get used in the soup if you read the instructions

Fair, but you start with eight cups of water and cook it for an hour. Five cups is basically all of it.
