Notes
Heavy whipping cream is a yellow tier ingredient. Here, its use accounts for approximately 45 calories per serving, based on 8 servings). One serving of soup is 383 calories, so it's just slightly over the allotted 10% from the yellow tier, but not enough over to make me want to find a substitute. For 100% green tier soup, use whole milk in place of the cream.
