    Weight Watchers Spicy Black Bean Soup

    Course: soups
    PointsPlus™ Value: 4
    Servings: 8
    Preparation Time: 20 min
    Cooking Time: 30 min
    Level of Difficulty: Moderate

    The key to thickening this soup without flour? Pureeing some of the beans before cooking it. You'll love the stick-to-your-ribs texture that results.

    Ingredients

    1 spray(s) cooking spray
    1 medium onion(s), finely chopped
    4 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced (medium)
    45 oz canned black beans, undrained, divided (three 15 oz cans)
    1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
    1 tsp Cumin seeds
    14 1/2 oz fat-free chicken broth, or vegetable broth
    10 oz canned tomatoes with green chilis, such as Rotel Tomatoes
    11 oz canned yellow corn, drained

    Instructions
    Coat bottom of a large stockpot with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes.

    Place one can of beans in blender; add sautéed onion mixture, red pepper flakes and cumin. Cover and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour mixture back into stockpot.

    Place second can of beans and broth in blender and puree until smooth; add to stockpot.

    Stir third can of beans (do not puree first), tomatoes and green chilies, and corn into stockpot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of soup per serving.

    Yam-Squash-Apple Soup

    Yellow Onion, 0.5 medium
    Water - 2 cup (8 fl oz)
    Celery , Raw - 1 Stalk, Medium (7-1/2" - 8" Long (40g), 2 Stalk
    Kirkland Signature - Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Tbsp (15 ml)
    - Yams, Raw-, 2 C cubes (150g)
    - Squash, Summer or All Varieties, Raw, 2.5 cup
    Swanson - Beef Broth 100% Fat Free 50% Less Sodium, 1 cup (you can use vegetable or chicken broth too)
    Fruit - Apple, 1 Apple Lg.
    Season with paprika, black pepper and cumin

    Serves 6; Per serving: 109 cals; 21 carbs; 81 sodium, 2 prot; 0 sat fat; 4 fiber. Because it is low in calories this soup can be use as a snack during the day, specially in the winter.

    Peel and cut in small pieces the onions, yams, squash, and apple. Add the paprika to the squash and yams, toss and set aside. Cut the celery and sautee with the onion in 1 tbs of oil, until they are soft but not mushy.
    Add the cubed yams and squash and toss the mixture. Add the broth, toss some more, add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for about 20 minutes and then add the apple.
    Cook until all the veggies are soft and add the rest of the seasoning. Let it cool for an hour and puree in the blender, food processor or hand blender. It will be thick but you can add more broth if you want a more "liquid" soup.

    Notice that I didn't add anymore salt to keep the sodium under control. You can add additional seasonings (like sage and thyme) if you wish.

    Serve with a teaspoon of low fat sour cream on top. Yummy!!

    1 sm. to med. yellow or white onion, diced
    1 poblano pepper, diced (reserve 2 tbsp diced very fine for cornbread)
    1 small can diced/peeled green chiles
    2 green peppers-diced
    1 lb. chicken breast, cooked and diced
    1 bag of great northern beans
    1 can corn, drained
    2 tbsp flour
    1 cup chicken broth
    1 cup medium picante salsa
    1 package of taco seasoning
    10-12 dashes Frank's Red Hot
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste
    sour cream and/or shredded taco cheese for garnish

    It looks like a lot of ingredients but most of it is usually stuff I have on hand. I cook the chicken breast, poblano pepper and onion (and garlic) in a little oil until the onions are translucent, then add the green chiles (and jalapeno rings).Then add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil and simmer at least a half hour.

    "Angry Mussels"

    Pound of clean mussels
    1 tbsp of Smart Balance
    1/4 cup of leeks (in 1/2" cuts)
    1 tbsp of diced shallots
    1 tsp of diced or crushed garlic
    1 cup chicken broth
    1/2 cup of white wine (not cooking wine... any white will do)


    Clean the mussels under cold water and set aside to dry

    Prepare all the other dry ingredients and place in a bowl

    In a large skillet (cast iron if possible), bring to very high heat for about 1/2 hour. I typically place my iron skillet on the grill and leave it for a while. You want that thing to get really hot.

    Once you reach the right temperature, dump the mussels in the hot skillet, distributing them evenly. Cover (important)

    Quickly heat the Smart Balance in a pot and throw in the dry ingredients. Cook until translucent.

    Carefully remove the mussels from heat and transfer them to the pot. Pour all the juices from the mussels (liquor) in the pot as well. (by now the mussels were cooked for about five minutes. Basically when they open they're cooked)

    Carefully fold over the pot ingredients with the mussels so that there's happiness in the world. Still under medium heat.

    Pour in the chicken stock and the white wine.

    When it all comes to a simmer, turn off the heat and let sit for about five minutes (covered) so that all the flavors settle down.

    Then enjoy!

    Not sure the numbers but this is a pretty low calorie food and it tastes awesome. Might want to add a home made crouton as well.

    French bread sliced about 1/2" thick.
    brushed olive oil on both sides (not too much)
    Ground pepper and sea salt on both sides
    Toast at a low setting until you have a hockey puck.

    Place the hockey puck in the bowl first and then spoon on the mussels and broth

    (On, now I know what I'm making for the Giants game!)

    I made this in my crock pot yesterday:

    1 package pork stew meat (or any stew meat)
    1 package frozen mixed vegetables
    1 package steam and mash potatoes (uncooked) (you can used canned potatoes but they have a lot of sodium)
    1 can no salt added tomato sauce
    water

    Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low all day. Add salt and pepper to taste. Veggies and potatoes should stay frozen until put into the crock pot. Add water so that everything is covered.

    Very low calorie.

    White Chili is my families fav.

    chicken (4 cups)
    chicken broth (2 cans)
    white beans (1 can)
    green chilies or jalapenos (I use a bunch b/c we like it hot)
    small onion
    cumin
    oregano
    cilantro
    cheese
    tortilla or chips (if you want)

    Throw the chicken and chicken stock into a pan with the chilies, onion, cumin (1 t), oregano (1 T), salt and pepper to taste, cook till chicken is done or if using left over chicken then till hot. ( I usually use raw chicken and cook it, then debone it and use the stock I cooked it in but wasn't sure how from scratch you wanted to go).

    When it has all blended add the beans last serve topped with cheese, chips, cilantro, and avacado if your'd like. :)

    This has been our chili cookoff winner for the past 3 years. :)

    Southwestern Black Bean and Chicken Soup (Serves 6)

    1 to 1 1/2 lbs. boneless/skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
    2 cans of black beans (try to find the low-sodium brand)
    1 can of corn with red and green peppers
    1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (low sodium if you can find them)
    1 tablespoon of chili powder
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    Dash of salt
    A few shakes of pepper
    a handful of chopped cilantro

    In a medium-size pot, saute the chicken until it is cooked through. Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes and stir. Add chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and cilantro, stir again. If soup is too thick, add water until it is the consistency you want. Cook over medium heat for at least two hours (the longer you let it cook the better it is).
