0 Point Veggie Soup

I know it's getting chillier out everyone's glued more inside and spending less time outside where they could be burning more calories, plus, I know some of you who are working at a cubicle and have one of your cabinet drawers packed with snacks and would love a warm, zero point food item you could eat whenever, so...

Homemade veggie soup

7 cups Low fat Beef broth (beef is the best)

2 carrots (leave skin on, do not peel)
1-2 celery stalks (depending on size, use 2 small ones including some celery leaves in b/c it adds great flavor)
1 medium size onion
1 can of green beans
3 cups (1/2 a cabbage) chopped cabbage - -I LOVEEEE cabbage!!!
1 can diced tomatoes (throw whole can in, even the juice)
½ bunch chopped Scallions
1 Zucchini
1 beef bullion cube

Spices:

1 T parsley
1 T minced garlic
1 t thyme
1 t sage

1 t dill weed

1 t fresh dill
1 t onion powder
1 t garlic powder
1 t celery salt
½ t pepper
1 t salt

First off, the measurements of the spices are all just guesses!

Put the broth in a giant pot, w/the bouillon cube, and add the veggies as you chop them. You’ll probably want to add whatever takes the longest to cook first, like carrots & celery. Finally, add the spices last, stir, let simmer 15-30 minutes.

If using fat-free broth (or low-sodium or something; anything that’s about 15-30 calories per cup), you may have 1 ½ cup (b/c there’s veggies in there now that are taking up room) for 0 ww points! ZERO! 3 cups for 1 point!

Don’t hesitate to mix this up a bit and add whatever you want! Add some potato if you want it a little heavier… or some Smart Taste Extra Wide (egg) Noodles… or even chicken! Just make sure you count those points, b/c even corn isn’t a zero point food item!
