Makes 4 to 6 servings. Nutritional information is for four hearty servings.Original recipe also called for 1 cup of frozen cauliflower and 1/2 cup of frozen zucchini, which I don't have on hand. This would add significantly to the nutrients, but not much to the calories. It also had several seasonings that I didn't have on hand, which would improve flavor. Add if you wish!
