Hg's Pumpkinlicious Veggie Soup - Ww Points = 0

senseicheryl's Note:

Here is another zero point soup recipe from Hungry Girl. "With chunks of fresh veggies and a creamy pumpkin kick, this 0-Point soup ROCKS!" (1/5th recipe: 35 calories/ 0g fat/ 400mg sodium/ 6.5g carbs/ 2g fiber/ 3.5g sugars/ 2g protein = 0 Points!) Be creative… Toss in a half of a cup each of canned corn kernels and black beans for the last few minutes of cooking. With the addition of these Southwest-inspired ingredients, each serving is just 1 Point! 1/5th recipe with corn and black beans: 71 calories/ 0.5g fat/ 480mg sodium/ 14g carbs/ 3.5g fiber/ 4g sugars/ 4g protein = 1 Point

Great soup! I used the pumpkin I scraped out from our Jack-o-Lanterns, which I cooked in a casserole then pureed. Used a bit more pumpkin than the recipe called for (about a cup I think), and I added some canolini beans and corn. I like it with a scoop part-skim ricotta for a very filling and healthy lunch. This is the first HG recipe I have tried, and I just printed out a few more for tonight. Thanks!
