Veggie Soup by Weight Watchers
Veggie Soup is a Weight Watchers recipe.
This soup is just full of veggies!
It makes a great lunch or snack especially when you are just starting to watch your diet or implementing new dietary restrictions.
This soup freezes wonderfully in small tupperware containers.
The Veggie Soup makes a great option for a lunch to bring to work and heat up in the microwave.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 medium zucchini, diced
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 2 cups swiss chard, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 teaspoons thyme, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, optional
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Put first 10 ingredients (garlic – broth) in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer partly covered for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
- Leave veggies whole or use an immersion blender and puree just a bit leaving some veggie chunks.
- Stir in parsley and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
- Keep warm until ready to serve.
No more excuses about not being prepared or having enough time to eat well.
Prepare your veggies and soup on the weekend and freeze individual portions to have for the entire week.
There are just so many options for planning your meal that you won’t be able to find a worthwhile excuse to not eat healthy.
I must confess that as a rule I am not a cooked veggie eater. I love my veggies raw, in a salad, or at most al dente.
I recently made a commitment to try to eat meals that have been planned for ahead of time.
Let me tell you. I have found a new respect for you all.
I do make a sketchy weekly plan when I put together the grocery list.
That all falls apart though when I get to the store and see foods I want. I usually shop more with my eyes than my list.
After looking at food all day I frequently change my mind on what I want to prepare for dinner.
This Veggie Soup is delicious. And I find I won’t put it on the back burner in exchange for something different.
These colorful garden vegetables can be harvested daily from my garden.
And I enjoy the fragrance of the veggies once they are pulled.
Watching them simmer on the stove makes me feel warm and cozy and makes me smile.
The flavors and textures of the different vegetables can’t overcome the aroma of the soup as it cooks.
we have a list of dietary restrictions among our family.
Preparing this delicious soup checks all the boxes.
And when my family is ladling the soup into their bowls the only the only sounds I hear are the mmmmmm noises they are making.
I am sure your family will enjoy this soup as much as we do. Enjoy!

Thank you Miz Helen. I love homemade soup and this one fits the bill. I hope you are enjoying your week.
Yum! Zero points?! I don’t know how WW works….does that mean I can eat as much as I want of this? 😉 Thanks for linking up at Friday Frenzy Link Party! Pinned!!
You get to spend a certain amount of points a day for your food intake. It is a bit easier than counting calories. Zero means you will never be hungry! It is a great soup. Have a wonderful week!
Sounds yummy! I have a spinach tortellini soup that I got from WW years ago that I love making now and then. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

I do love recipes like this. I need to make them more. I love blogging in January because these posts make me decide to eat healthier as so many are doing it! Have a great week. (please let me know if you get this reply. I am not sure they are being sent.)
So many of my friends have done so well with weight watchers so I know it’s a system that works. This looks and sounds delicious too.
It is the best diet. i was on it twice. Right after the birth of my son I lost 80 pounds in 7 months. Then just before surgery I did water arobics to get in shape and lost 60 pounds. Sad to say I gained back 20 pounds since my knee replacement. I need to get back to it again.
Mmm, I love this recipe. I have some for lunch every day, and I’m not even doing Weight Watchers anymore! A wonderful thing to share.
I love when I can enjoy a nice warm meal easily and healthy. Enjoy.
