Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Summer Vegetable Soup
This light and healthy summer vegetable soup is a deliciously satisfying way to use some of the vegetables from your garden that can be so plentiful right now.
Or, if you are like me and don't have a garden, it will still be delicious made with vegetables from the grocery store!
Recipe Notes
I adapted this soup recipe slightly from 5 Easy Steps to Healthy Cooking: 500 Recipes for Lifelong Wellness (affiliate link). A cookbook I've mentioned several times before, it's one of my favorites for easy, healthy and delicious dishes.
And because complete nutrition is provided for each recipe, it's easy to calculate Weight Watchers Points. (Here's my complete review.)
Are you a fan of Weight Watchers 0 Points Vegetable Soup?
You'll love this. The addition of corn and pasta make it heartier and even more satisfying.
Since I couldn't find whole grain orzo, I substituted the smallest whole grain pasta I could find. And it all turned out delicious.
