WW Soup

[Shay]

I saw and ad in my most recent WW Magazine for Pr*gress* Light 0
Point soup! I'll have to check it out. I just hope it's not too high
in sodium.

There are actual a few of the soups. The mexican one is probably the
best, but not great. Have you ever checked out the website/daily e-
mails from hungrygirl - dot -com? She does lots of reviews of low cal
food and snacks, and she reviewed these a few weeks back. She also has
several 0 pt soup recipes. The daily e-mails are worth subscribing.
She has a huge database of "today is national whatever food day" (like
today is national hot and spicy food day) -- I love mentioning these
in class. Monday was "give a cow a break day" and we talked about
other ways to get calcium rather than milk. (Of course, national pina
colada day was pretty popular!)

Thanks for the heads up on that site. Sounds like one I need to check
out!

I actually like all of them! The meixan and veggie barley are
probably my favorites.

I love soup, though. Especially when it's cold! The whole can is
only 2 pts! But I don't think there's much of a difference in sodium
from regular varieties...

I'm going to have to check out that site. Thanks! I love the
Progresso light soups. The Southwestern one is AWESOME. Add some low
fat tortilla chips and you got a meal. Yummy!
Today, I'm making a potato and roasted garlic soup from one of my WW
cookbooks. If it turns out delish, I'll have to share.

Progresso light: 820mg sodium per serving!!! Good G*d!

820mg???!!! That's what I was afraid of -- sis and I have to do low
sodium 'cause we have high BP, so the Progresso soups are coming off
the list of things to try.

We generally enjoy the He@lthy Choice soups - they have a country
vegetable soup we like (we add some spices like powdered garlic,
chives, no salt lemon-pepper, and no salt italian seasoning to boost
the taste a bit. They are generally around 440mgs of sodium for
serving. Jude and I split the can and it works out to be a 2 point
serving.

Thanks for the info!

Jazzer-HUGS!

Pr*gresso does have a line of low-sodium soups, but the Light 0 point
(R) soup ain't one of them!

Figures. Take out that fat and up either the sugar or the sodium -
never fails.

I just invented a new soup and it's very yummy. But I have no idea on
the calorie count or fat content.

I made Turkey Chili and it ok, but it was just ho-hum. So I added a
28oz can of crushed tomatoes, can of mushrooms, fresh mushrooms,
steamed califlower and just brought it to a boil and then simmered for
20 minutes-just used up the veggies in the fridge before I went
grocery shopping.

It's the best Turkey Chili Veggie soup I have ever made. Serve it up
with whole wheat pita (2 pts) and lower fat hummus (2 T= 1 pt) and you
have a meal. I would say 1 and half cups is worth about 4 or 5 points
and worth 2.5 veggie servings. (Chili had lots of onions, celery and
kidney beans and lean ground turkey breast.)
