I noticed that the calories per serving for the Oriental Pho-Inspired soup are 695c. This seems a bit high. Is there a way of reducing the calories?

when i cook oriental noodles, i usually dont use chicken broth, .i don't put anythinig in, and season the soup with seasoning salt. that's what i do. it tastes really bland and weak but that's how i like it.?
i'm pretty sure the calories come from the chicken broth.

You could probably use a lower fat chicken stock and/or reduce the serving size - each serving in this recipe has 3 cups of stock plus all of the fish, veggies and mushrooms, so the serving sizes could be quite large and a smaller serving may still be filling.

Chicken stock hardly has any calories (something like 5 calories per cup). I think it's from the noodles. Nothing else in the recipe is a heavy-hitter calorie-wise.
Just reduce the noodles or reduce the serving size (6 cups of stock only makes 2 servings? really?) and that will cut the calories substantially.
