Wondering if this soup is suppose to have potatoes listed in ingredients and how much? Shows in instructions.

Does the calories include potatoes?

Thanks.

Are you referring to the Carrot, Orange and Ginger Soup? It calls for 2 russet potatoes (which were included in the calorie count)... the recipe has been fixed.
