Weight Watcher Style Vegetable Soup

Want to get skinny? Who wouldn't love to shed a few pounds.

Remember the old recipe for a "no points" vegetable cabbage type soup from Weight Watchers?

It was a hearty soup that was given as a bonus and could be eaten without counting it in your daily calories. AND you could still lose weight. Kind of a fill you up with lots of veggies and very few calories.

This soup recipe is my version of a "get skinny " no point" weight watchers type soup that can be eaten any time you like without any guilt. ! It's so good, your entire family will love it.

And best of all it can be made in THE CROCK POT ( which I love ) or on the stove in just 1/2 hour

This soup is low in calories, but not low in taste.

IT only took about 10 minutes prep and about 3 1/2 hours to cook on high in the crock pot.

It couldn't have been easier.

I threw everything into the crock pot about 10:00 A.M . I then went out and did a few errands . When I returned about 1:30, I was greeted by the wonderful aroma of home cooked soup, and was thrilled to have something healthy and hot to eat.

You can add cooked black beans and even a little brown rice if you want to turn it into a meal.

I added 1/2 cup of cooked black beans to my bowl and called it a ( WW) 4 "point plus" bowl of soup.
