Quick Chicken Noodle Vegetable Soup (Weight Watchers)

Submitted by Dreamer in Ontario

"This soup is from an old issue of Weight Watchers Magazine. It's a core recipe or only has 3 points per serving if counting. If the broth gets a little too thick after refrigerating leftovers, add a little water to thin and reheat on stove or microwave. NOTE: Weight Watchers lists the calories per serving for this recipe to be 160 with 2 g fat which makes 3 points per serving. For some reason Zaar has the calories and fat a lot higher. I think that perhaps Zaar doesn't recognize the chicken ingredient to be skinless which would reduce the fat quantity."

Very good and simple to make soup. I changed things around slightly in this recipe by using more chicken (close to 1 pound) and adding it with the onion -- I also added some Italian Seasoning and then added the veggies and pasta about 10 minutes or so later. Very good soup which my whole family enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!
