Tomato - Vegetable Soup (0 pt.)

[nancyny 0]

Here's my personal variation of 0-pt. soup. I am not a big fan of cooked cabbage so I made up my own. I freeze it in 1-c. containers for easy reheating.

NOTES : Makes almost 4 quarts. Use 4-qt. or larger saucepan!

 

For Weight watchers: ZERO POINTS

 

Many variations: add canned mushrooms with liquids, or fresh mushrooms with celery. Use other veggies (some don't freeze or reheat well) or vary seasonings. Vegetarians should use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

 

This freezes and reheats well. It's best if chilled for 24 hours and reheated before serving (allows flavors to blend).

I'll be trying this. Thanks for posting Nancy. Like you, I'm not a fan of cabbage.

Nancy, I made this last week and took it to lunch one day, and had 2 people come up and ask for the recipe. It's delicious! Thanks for sharing!

I just made this and added 1/2 cup salsa and 2 T taco seasoning. Still comes out to 0 points and the flavor is fantastic!

Nancy,

Thank you for posting this soup! I'm not a big vegetable fan but I love vegetable soup (go figure!). Anyway, I would never make some of the other WW zero point soups because they have too many vegetables that I hate in them (i.e. cabbage). This soup I can handle. I'm going to make it soon. Thanks again!

Hi Thanks for the recipie. I can't take the cabbage veggie soup. Thanks again, I made it tonight, and it was very easy, and very good!

Happy New Year to all!

This does sound good . Do you think it would be fien with crushed tomatoes instead of diced?? also I hate frozen green beans but loved can do you think that substituion would work?

Canned green beans would work fine if that's what you prefer. If you add the liquid, you might want to leave out the salt in the recipe and adjust later to your taste.

 

Also you can put in tomatoes in any size lump you want. Diced, crushed, I've even seen a variety that's lumpier than "crushed" but not diced.

 

I hope you like it!

Bumping for fall

Bumping - just made a pot of this the other day and brought some in for lunch today.

 

YUM!!

This might be a dumb question but here we go,

 

Can you add any 0 point veggie-green beans, zucchini, peas, limas?

I like lots of veggies but still want it to be 0 pts.

[dmarkey 0]

If you are doing Flex:

green beans and zucchini are zero points

but peas and limas you would need to count.

You can put in whatever you want, but some high sugar or starchy veggies such as peas and lima beans and corn would count for Points.

 

For this soup I picked 0-pt. veggies that freeze and reheat well; I don't put zucchini on that list. It's best fresh. But it's based on the original Garden Vegetable Soup (subbing tomatoes for cabbage) and that soup has zucchini.

 

These soups are made to be modified!
