Yummy Zero Points Soup!

GARDEN VEGETABLE SOUP (weight watchers)

1/2 cup sliced carrots

1/4 cup diced onions

2 minced garlic cloves

3 cups fat-free beef, chicken, or vegetable broth

1 cup diced green cabbage

1 cup chopped spinach

1 T tomato paste

1/2 t dried basil

1/4 t dried oregano

1/4 t salt

1 cup diced zucchini

Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, heat.  Saute' the carrots, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add broth, cabbage, spinach, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, covered, about 15 minutes.  Stir in the zucchini and cook 3-4 minutes more.  Serve hot.

 adding in the broth, green cabbage (yep, I even did this -- I'm growing up!), spinach, tomato paste (silly me didn't quite read the directions and I added in 2 CANS of tomato paste instead of 2 T -- I was doubling/trippling the recipe...why cook a small portion when you can cook loads?! It still tasted great) and the spices.

 adding in the zucchini

simmer, simmer

voila - but I ate twice this amount...still zero points on weight watchers and I felt so healthy! haha  By the way - I didn't measure the veggies...just added in lots and lots because I like a chunky soup.  Let me know what you think!  I mean, I went to the trouble to take all of these pictures and all. :)
