Back in 1993 my DM and I became lifetime members of WW. She revised the 0 point soup recipe. She won 1st place with it at her Office Soup Cookoff one year. I just dug it out because now I need it again. Zaar is not kind to your waist line. I also have revised her revision. It called for a can of Cajun stewed tomatoes which I can no longer locate. I now use 1 tsp Cajun spice but won't accept it. Also changed a few other items to my liking. Ingredients:
1/2 large onion, cut in half, sliced very thin |
1 cup carrot, sliced |
1 1/2 celery ribs, sliced |
3 (14 ounce) cans nonfat beef broth |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (or use cajun stewed tomatoes, chopped) |
2 1/2 cups cabbage, shredded (cole slaw mix works great) |
2 beef bouillon cubes |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon cajun spices (if using cajun stewed tomatoes omit) |
1/4 teaspoon basil |
1/2 cup zucchini, sliced |
Directions:
1. Spray large saucepan with cooking spray.
2. Saute' onion, carrots and celery until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Combine beef broth, tomatoes, cabbage, bouillon cubes, garlic, Cajun spice, and basil in the saucepan.
4. Bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer approximately 30 minutes.
5. Add zucchini, continue simmering for another 10 minutes.
6. Serve hot.
7. Note: Use fat free saltines for 1 point for 7 squares!
