Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Crock Pot Back-on-Track Soup
Now that the leftover holiday ham, lasagna, cookies and candies have been polished off, and the new year is officially underway, all I want to eat is soup. Big bowls of warm nourishing soup.
Simple healthy soups filled with good-for-you ingredients, like this Easy Healthy Crock Pot Back on Track Soup, for example.
Turning my attention to soup is the best way I know to hit the reset button following a period of heavy eating, like after vacation or the holidays.
Choosing soup for lunch or supper, several times a week for a few weeks, works for me. I feel good and know I’m being good too.
It’s so much more effective than attempting a more restrictive diet that I end up abandoning before I ever really get started.
This Healthy Easy Crock Pot Back on Track Soup isn’t going to win any beauty contests, I’ll give you that.
But, can you think of a better name for a post holiday soup?
Are You Ready To Slow Cook Yourself Slim?
As soon as I spied this simple healthy soup recipe while skimming through one of my mom’s recent cookbook purchases I new I wanted to make a batch.
Despite its rather swampy appearance, this Back on Track soup is surprisingly tasty. I’m always amazed when the simplest ingredients combine to make something so satisfying.
Mom, Rod and I all liked it.
Easy Healthy Back on Track Soup Recipe Notes
I made a few adjustments to the recipe to make this soup work with what I had on hand.
I used a combination of potatoes and frozen hash browns.
I also cut back on the oil using just 2 teaspoons, but you could probably eliminate it altogether.
It’s good sprinkled with a little grated Parmesan cheese.
A dash of your favorite hot sauce or pinch of crushed red pepper flakes would be nice if you prefer your soups spicy.
