Ww 0 Point Favorite Vegetable Soup

This is my favorite Weight Watchers vegetable soup. I have been making it over and over again and I still love it! Edited to add that I now add some Tabasco sauce to the soup to give it a nice kick!

Thanks so much for this recipe. I used to eat the WW zero point soup years ago when I first joined WW. But I got to the point I just couldn't take it anymore no matter how much I varied the recipe. This recipe is just what I am looking for. I modified a bit and I blenderized all of the vegetables for this recipe and I love the taste, color, consistency. It makes for a great soup by itself OR as a base to add in other healthy ingredients.

I wanted a different variation of the WW zero point soup also and this is just perfect. I used chicken broth, left out carrots and added green beans and red pepper. I'll be eating this for lunch quite awhile since it makes so much (which is perfect). Thanks for a keeper!!

Great tasting soup although I did modify somewhat due to ingredients on hand and I made this the lazy girl way. Used dried minced onions, canned fat fee chicken broth, garlic powder, was out of zucchini so subbed shredded cabbage, had tomato juice open in the frig used that, and to make a more complete meal added one box of cubed tofu. Loved your idea of hot sauce and added that after tasting, wanted a little more heat so I also added orange flavored habanero sauce. Your choice of spices were really tasty in this soup and could have done without the heat. (But also VERY good with it) Thanks for posting Redsie, this is a winner.
