The Day-After Soup

OK. The Fourth of July wasn't good (pointswise)--at least parts of it! So today I am looking to use as few points as I can (to stay within my range.)

I got a soup inspiration that you may want to try. I had in the refrigerator a quantity of cooked, soft dilled zucchini and onions as well as some roasted potatoes. Here is the result:

The Day-After Soup

2-4 C soft 0-point vegetable
1 potato or equivalent of instant dry potatoes
1 can chicken broth
seasoning
1 onion, coarsely chopped

Spray a 2-3 quart saucepan. Place over medium high heat. Add onion and spray again.

When onion is slightly browned, add soft vegetable, potato, and broth. Cook until soup comes to a gentle boil. Lower heat and simmer briefly. Add any interesting spice mixture to taste.

Toppings: 2 T light sour cream (1 point)
parmesan cheese

Points will vary. As I prepared it with the zucchini and potato, there were 3-4 points for the whole soup! It's filling and flavorful.

Get creative!

I don't know a lot about blogs either! My intention is that this site will be a place where any Weight Watcher (or anyone attempting a new food lifestyle) can share tips, successes, and/or recipes.

This place is for you.

You can ask questions that others answer. There are a lot of people looking at Linda's Recipes for Success everyday so why don't we share for the benefit of all. Don't worry that your contribution is small--it may be exactly what someone else is needing. I'm going to be readying, too!
