A fast & no-fuss soup that is very filling & extremely low fat. Fits well into any Weight Watchers plan. Can be made with either vegetable or chicken broth. Try the vegetable for a nice change of pace! Ingredients:
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin |
1/2 cup chopped carrot (1 medium) |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium) |
2 finely minced garlic cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more or less to taste) |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (more or less to taste) |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (can use fresh if on hand) |
1 quart vegetables or 1 quart chicken broth |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (italian-style stewed tomatoes, can be substituted for plain diced tomatoes to lend a spicier flavor.) |
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a dutch oven, heat enough olive oil to just coat the bottom. Add the onions and garlic & cook until they are softened.
2. Mix in the pumpkin, carrots, tomatoes, broth, and spices. Cook for 20-30 minutes on medium-low heat.
3. Stir in the fat free half & half before serving.
