WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Pasta Soup
After more than a week of making and eating Slow Cooker Super Bowl food, my body is ready for soup.
A crock pot of soup is the easiest, most delicious way I know to get back into balance after too much feasting.
WW Friendly Slow Cooker Pasta Soup
At times like this, I can always count on the simple, mostly vegetarian soup recipes in Twelve Months of Monastery Soups (affiliate link) by Brother Victor D'Avila-Latourrette to come to my rescue.
Like this slow cooker pasta soup with mushrooms and peas, which I adapted for the slow cooker.
To make it more Weight Watchers friendly. I cut back on the olive oil and wine. And made a few other modifications based on what I had on hand.
It was just what I wanted. Simple. Tasty. Light. Satisfying.
If you too are in need of a little post game recovery, I highly recommend it.
