Garden Vegetable Soup Weight Watchers 0 Points Per 1 Cup Servi

cherij22's Note:

This was a life saver for me when I started Weight Watchers. It's really good and with 2 slices WW wheat bread(only adds 1 point) It was quite filling. I got the recipe from the first week book of Weight Watchers.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins

• 1/2 cup green beans
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup fresh zucchini, diced

Directions:

1. Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, heat.
2. Saute' the carrot, onion, garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add broth, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat, simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender.
5. Stir in the zucchini and heat for 3-4 minutes. Serve hot.
6. You can add in 1 1/2 cups diced green cabbage also, I personally do not like cabbage to I omit that ingredient.

Very nice recipe Cherij, as you said it's a life saver now that I'm trying to follow WW. Easy to put together too with nice blend of flavors. I separated into 1 cup servings, froze and when ever needed a little something would pull it out and heat in the microwave. Thanks for posting.
