- Spray large (5+ Qt), non-stick saucepan lightly with Pam. Saute/fry onions over medium heat till almost translucent/soft. Add in garlic and dry beef mix (if using). Continue cooking till onion is translucent/soft. (I like my onions lightly browned).
- 2.. Stir in remaining ingredients except for V-8, water and Bovril. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 min.
- 3.. Add in 3 c. of water, V-8 juice and liquid Bovril (if using), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 min (till vegetables are soft).
- 4.. Use a slotted spoon to remove about 2 c. of vegetables from pan; set aside.
- 5.. Allow soup to cold to room temperature. Puree remaining soup in a blender in small batches. (I use my Braun hand blender right in the pot)
- 6.. Return pureed mix and reserved vegetables to saucepan and heat.
- This soup is especially good with 7 - 8 fat-free cracked pepper crackers (that count as one bread serving/point).
- I like to microwave 1 1/2 c. of this soup for about 2 min (150 F) and eat with the crackers about 30 min before lunch.
- I have also made WW veggie soup in my crockpot. I just brown the onions first and then throw everything into the crockpot on low for however many hrs I'll be gone(usually all day). You cannot really mess this up - just make sure which the veggies are as soft as you like them. I usually saute/fry large quantities of onions and mushrooms and keep (freezer-weight) ziplocks of them in the freezer for making soups and adding bulk to my suppers.
- Description: "Large Quantity of WW Veggie Soup"
- Yield: 15 c. approx.
- NOTES :* I use a combo. of zucchini, yellow squash, carrot, & mushrooms. When I'm in a rush, I use bags of already shredded carrots and sliced mushrooms as well as frzn minced onion and peppers. You can vary this recipe to include your favorite fresh or possibly frzn veggies. I count a single 1 1/2 c. serving as 3 unlimited vegetables on the Weight Watchers plan (0 pts).
