This week we were invited to a Souper Sunday party, so I finally made the Weight Watchers Corned Beef and Corn Chowder. It was delicious. However, I'm not 100% sure I did it right.
The recipe calls for "45 fl oz canned cream of potato soup, made with fat-free milk."
1 can of cream of potato soup is 10 3/4 oz and is made by adding 1 can of milk.
So, to achieve "45 fl oz canned cream of potato soup, made with fat-free milk," would you use 4 cans of soup + 4 cans of milk or would you use 2 cans of soup + 2 cans of milk?
I interpreted it as the former which made way more than the 6 servings, one heaping cup per serving listed as the yield. Therefore, I'm pretty sure I did this wrong? It still tastes fine but it is definitly soupy, not thick and chowder-ry.
Ugh.
Upon further investigation, polling, and consultation with family cooking experts, I should have had 45 oz total of liquid, so two cans of soup + two cans of milk. Apparently, where the comma is located in that instruction makes all the difference. I still don't understand why. Really, where is the average person supposed to learn this stuff?
