Soup, broth calories: 14 per 1 cup (240 g)
This exact USDA record reports 14 calories for 1 cup (240 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 14 calories for 1 cup at 240 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 6 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 893 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, beef broth or bouillon canned, ready-to-serve, representing 50% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 14–55 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707132: “Soup, broth.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2707132, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 carton” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 240 g | 14 kcal | 2.1 g | 0 g | 893 mg |
| 1 individual containerUSDA-listed household measure | 440 g | 26 kcal | 3.9 g | 0 g | 1,637 mg |
| 1 cartonUSDA-listed household measure | 910 g | 55 kcal | 8.1 g | 0 g | 3,385 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Soups, broth-based
The comparison set contains 45 exact records in the Soups, broth-based USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707132’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707132’s 240 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium893 mg
≈ 39% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.1 g
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Soup, broth,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707123 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 carton
USDA assigns those measures 240 g and 910 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 14 kcal to 55 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707123
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.9 g less dietary fiber than “Soup, meatball.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soup, beef broth or bouillon canned, ready-to-serve
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Soup, beef broth or bouillon canned, ready-to-serve supplies 50% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “broth” fits. Inspect FDC 2707123 when “meatball” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Listed only in the comparison: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added; Mirepoix, cooked, as ingredient; Potato, cooked, as ingredient; and 5 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 240 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 245 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (245 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707132 with FDC 2707123 at equal mass; use their 240 g and 245 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707132 versus FDC 2707123 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with bowl size, solid-to-broth ratio, recipe, added cream, oil, or toppings.
For “Soup, broth,” resolve bowl size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
bowl size
Resolve bowl size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 02
solid-to-broth ratio
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 03
recipe
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added cream, oil, or toppings
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707132 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 6 kcal per 100 g becomes 14 kcal at 240 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707132
FNDDS food code: 28340120
The scaling for FDC 2707132 can be exact while the match to “Soup, broth” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 240 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
