It would help me if I knew the exact sodium content as I am restricted. Thanks

I used this recipe today and it turned out really yummy. To make it Atkins legal I used bacon fat to saute the onions, a can of low sodium beef broth instead of the powder, and instead of bread I took some frozen spinach, cooked it, drained and dried it, added an egg and some Parmesan cheese, mixed it up and made two patties that I coated on each side with parm, and fried them in the skillet with butter. Put my soup in a glass dish, put the spinach patties on top then topped it all with cheese and broiled until the cheese started bubbling. Was so delicious and the spinach patties were nice and chewy, not soggy like I usually got pre-Atkins when the soup was made with bread.

weight watchers points value is 6. If you do not use the low fat margarine the points value will be 5.
