This is easy to fix and very filling.  It’s the 0 point soup that I used from Day 1 on Weight Watchers.  A great choice to have available every day to satisfy your hunger without adding lots of calories you don’t want.  Don’t stress about following the recipe; add whatever vegetables you have.

​

Start this in the morning and cook on low until you’re ready to eat.

​

Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker.

​

• 1 1/3 cup sliced carrot

• 1 cup diced onion

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 6 cups fat-free broth (beef, chicken or vegetable)

• 1 can green beans

• 1 cup diced zucchini

• half a cabbage, or however much you can fit in

• 2 Tbsp tomato paste

• 1 tsp basil

• 1/2 tsp oregano

• 1/2 tsp salt

• water (you can decrease the broth and add water instead or add additional water towards the end to achieve the consistency you desire)

​

Notes:  I often chop the ingredients for this soup as I’m fixing another meal.  I bag up the chopped vegetables and it’s easy to dump everything in the slow cooker the next morning, turn it on and go.

​

I’ve also used fresh green beans, Chinese cabbage, more or less of an ingredient and various spices.  This is definitely a “what’s in your refrigerator” meal.

Other Suggestions

​

Using your basic recipe, I would omit the tomato paste and herbs. Add lemon or lime juice, sweet chili paste and patis (fish sauce) to taste. It puts a whole new twist on soup. Cilantro, green onions, and anything you like can also be added. (Traditionally Lemon grass stems are also added, but that is more of a hassle and it’s fine without!) Enjoy!   [Suzy S.]
