Tempt My Tummy - and a Give-Away

I did it myself! I mentioned on my Facebook page last week that I had made some yummy soup that had 0 points in it. Usually for lunch I will open a can of Progresso 'light' soup that has 0 or 1 pt per cup. I thought about making my own and looked on line for some recipes but the amount of ingredients in some of them just overwhelmed me! So, I thought I would try making my own with what I had on hand.

We used to shop at Costco a lot so I have a lot of canned foods on hand. This is what I 'threw' together to make this soup :

2 cans fat free Vegetable broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can green beans
1 can garden peas
1 small onion diced
2 stalks celery chopped
2 large carrots diced (I actually used frozen carrots I had in the freezer that were from our garden).

Put all of the above ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes. Until the fresh veggies are tender.

You can change up the veggies to suit your taste. If you're using canned veg check the label for point value (if you want to follow WW). I'm really the only one that eats this but I've already gone through one pot and made another one over the weekend. It's great for a quick lunch, and a perfect way for me to get extra vegetables :-)
