Here is another good soup recipe I am going to try and add some extras from my point of view....today is a rainy day and good for soup but probably will make it over weekend..sounds delish and hardly any points.....wooohoooo!!
2 cups escarole, choppped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup chopped onions
2 cups fresh spinach baby leaves
2 small uncooked zucchini cubed
1 medium sweet red pepper chopped
1 medium uncooked fennel bulb thinly sliced (tastes like Anise)
6 cups vegetable broth (hopefully sodium free organic perhaps)
28 oz can diced tomates, preferably fire roasted peppers
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp thyme, fresh, finely chopped
1 tsp oregano, finely chopped
3/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black peppers
1/4 cup parsley, fresh chopped
1/4 cup basil fresh leaves
Put escarole, garlic, onions.spinach,zucchini,red pepper, fennel,vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, thyme and oregano into a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer,partyly covered for about 10 minutes.
Stir in salt, black pepper, parsley and basil. Serve about 1 cup per serving and 1 point per serving.
*I am goint to add in some beans you can use your choice of black beans, cannellini,white,chick peas, red kidney whatever your fancy it will change the points value I would figure an extra point or two for that.
Enjoy everyone more to come have a great day!!
