WW Recipe of the Day: Linda’s 10 Minute Vegetable Soup
Today I’ve got several recipes that are popular with readers including this easy Vegetable Soup from Linda that comes together in about 10 minutes—a new personal busy day lunch and supper alternative to WW Classic Zero Points Vegetable Soup that requires a lot more chopping. I love that it’s made from ingredients I usually have on hand in my pantry and freezer.
Here’s what Linda had to say when she shared her soup recipe with me, “I agree about the benefits of soup. It’s also good for families of one. Most soup recipes can be halved or quartered, and portioned out, then frozen—generally.
I attended WW for the first time in the late 1990’s. At the time they gave out a menu card each week. Yesterday while looking for my old college roommate’s recipe for Irish Soda Bread, I came across one for Pasta Fagioli. I made some easy modifications and came up with a 10-minute dinner. It may help others who are in a pinch for time. Serve with good bread and possibly a salad. For lunch the next day, serve a small portion with half a sandwich. Regards” ~ Linda S.
