Soup, hot and sour calories: 96 per 1 cup (245 g)
This exact USDA record reports 96 calories for 1 cup (245 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 96 calories for 1 cup at 245 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 39 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.3 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 921 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, hot and sour, chinese restaurant, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707136: “Soup, hot and sour.” 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 2707136, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 183.8 g | 72 kcal | 4.7 g | 0.9 g | 691 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 96 kcal | 6.3 g | 1.2 g | 921 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 306.3 g | 119 kcal | 7.9 g | 1.5 g | 1,152 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707136’s 245 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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
Iron2 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium22 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Soup, hot and sour,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709160 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 245 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 183.8–306.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 72 kcal and 119 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709160
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.2 g more dietary fiber than “Soup, wonton.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Soup, hot and sour, Chinese restaurant
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “hot and sour” fits. Inspect FDC 2709160 when “wonton” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Soup, hot and sour, Chinese restaurant. Only the comparison record lists Wonton, dumpling or pot sticker, steamed; Soup, broth. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient 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, hot and sour,” 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 2707136 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 39 kcal per 100 g becomes 96 kcal at 245 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: 2707136
FNDDS food code: 28340750
The scaling for FDC 2707136 can be exact while the match to “Soup, hot and sour” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 245 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
