"Just made this soup... WOW quick and easy as well as low cal. Salt amount depends on the tomatoes you use... I have used 1+ teaspoons on some occasions. Enjoy! Core Weight Watchers Recipe - 2 points per serving. I Have made using low fat evaporated milk (couldn't find in data base) and it is delicious as well!"

Easy and good! I made this as directed except that I halved the recipe for 2 of us. Very simple and tasty. Thanks MMinMI for sharing this one. Made for PAC Fall 2008.
