Favor Re: Chicken, Ham and Wild Rice Soup from Joe's Blog

This is a favorite in our house but I want to lighten it up. I don't have MasterCook....but want to know the NI if I replace the half and half with skim milk. Would anyone be willing to run this through and let me know?

I'd be so thankful!

Assuming 6 servings--

as written:
537 cal, 29g fat, 29g protein, 3g fiber

with skim milk:
384 cal, 11g fat, 30g protein, 3g fiber

Do you need any other stats like carbs, sodium or for 8 servings?

[SusanPC]

Thank you!!!! Yes, if you have carbs that would be awesome!

Thanks again.

37 grams of carbs with half and half, 38g with skim milk.

You're very welcome!

I've been making this recipe for a couple years now and I've been reversing the amounts for chicken broth and half and half (1 cup half and half and 4 cups of broth) and for my taste, I like it even better. It was just a matter of taste -- for me the original recipe was too rich. It's also good with some added sauteed mushrooms.
