Crock Pot Low Calorie Vegetable Soup
Back during my Weight Watchers Online days, I used to make their Zero Point Soup a lot.
A few weeks ago, Joe requested this soup for dinner. Since it's an easy recipe (and Joe rarely makes a dinner request), I didn't mind preparing this recipe at all.
This is a great recipe to make when you need to clean out the veggie bin. I try to stick as close to the recipe as possible, but sometimes I add a few extras depending on what needs to be used up.
Low-Calorie Vegetable Soup in the Crock Pot
Ingredients:
- 8 cups vegetable broth (I prefer homemade, but canned works fine
- 3 carrots, diced
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 2 small zuccini, diced
- 6 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 3 Tbs. tomato paste
- 1 1/2 Tbs. Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute
- 2 cups frozen cut green beans, thawed
Directions:
Combine all ingedients (except for green beans) in crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until vegetables are tender.
In the last 30 minutes or so of cooking, add the thawed green beans, cover and continue to simmer until beans are heated through.
Notes:
This took a while to cook in my crock pot. I have a couple of crocks and one cooks slower than the other. The thermostat must be out of whack, or maybe I had the crock over stuffed. Not sure. Either way, it turned out great!
Joe sometimes adds rice to his portion or even some cooked ground sausage.
We enjoy this soup served with grilled cheese sandwiches or quesadillas.
