Related: About this forumMushroom Rice Soup
I am doing Noom to lose weight. Made one of their recipes for lunch. Mushroom Rice soup, to which I added half cup of cooking Sherry and a boneless skinless chicken breast. Recipe uses low sodium chicken broth for the base. One serving about 275 calories. It was very good.
