Veggie Soup


So you know I am doing weight watchers and the other day I had eaten all my points, but I still was hungry when dinner rolled around. I either had to go without dinner or think of something with low points. This dish was my solution. It is a whopping 1/2 point for a cup of this!!!
Like I said in my last post, I love soups because generally they are pretty forgiving in terms of measuring and you can be pretty creative. I had a lot of produce I needed to use up and I just kind of threw a bunch of whatever I had in. Here is what I did:
Ingredients
chopped carrots
chopped celery
chopped onion
chopped broccoli
chopped zucchini
chopped green pepper
1 large canning jar diced tomatoes (at least 2 cans if you don't have the jar)
1 can kidney beans
1 Tbs. pesto sauce(I would add more next time)
parsley
oregano
basil
1 34 oz. box chicken stock
1 1/2 cups water
1 Tbs. olive oil
Directions:
Add onions, celery and oil to stock pot. Saute until translucent. Add remaining ingredients and cook until veggies are tender.
*you could add little pasta noodles too to make a more minestrone type but that does add some points.
