Weight Watchers Tomato Spinach Slow Cooker "0 Point" S

Mama Jen's Note:

When your low on points for the week or if you want something that will fill you up that won't count against your points, indulge yourself in this YUMMY soup.. BTW- my 3. 5, and 7 year old LOVED this soup with some oyster crackers.. Family Pleaser!

• Total Time: 5 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 4 cups spinach, washed
• 2 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 medium celery ribs, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 28 ounces canned no-salt-added diced tomatoes
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5 hours. Remove bay leaves, stir and serve. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
2. **NOTE**.
3. I used whole baby carrots, and also included the top parts of the celery, I cheat with my garlic and buy it already minced from Costco and my family LOVES garlic so I am sure I added more than what it calls for, I also added more spice on everything, including the red peppers. But after doing all of that, I still came out with a 0 Point Soup that tastes so good! :).

I made this using beef broth and found it to be very satisfying. A great way to get some extra vegetables in your diet. Thanks for posting!

Not a WW follower, just wanted a good vegetarian slow cooker soup. This definitely fits the bill! I omitted celery and bay leaves (personal pref) and added a tsp of Bayou Blast from Emeril - great soup for low cost and low calories. Thanks for sharing!

I just started using my slow cooker and I am trying to follow weight watchers. This recipe was easy and delicious. I like my food spicy so it was just right for me but if you don't like spicy foods you may have to leave out a few ingredients. I love the fact that this is 0 points and I can enjoy a large bowl of it. I couldn't find pre-made vegetable broth so I used the dry mix with water and it came out great!
