A Recipe to Share

Garden Vegetable Soup (0 points for Weight Watchers)

Makes 4 one cup servings

Ingredients:

2/3 cup sliced carrot
1/2 cup diced onion
2 garlic cloves minced
3 cups fat-free broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
1.5 cups diced green cabbage
1/2 cup green beans
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup diced zucchini

(you can substitute or remove veggies from the soup...I typically leave out the cabbage)

Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, heat. Saute the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender. Stir in the zucchini and heat for 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe but I'm no cook and soup does not satisfy me. Sorry, better luck next time! Hee hee!

mmm...sounds tasty! I bet it would even be good to take out the green beans and put in some other type (like white beans) and it would be good too! I guess I'm the complete opposite of Leann...I LOVE soup! I am so happy it's soup season again.
