SOUP RECIPES WANTED

I made this soup last night and it was sooo easy and soooooo yummy. Next time I might make it with noodles instead of rice. The rice didn't really add anything to it. While prepping the veggies I grilled the chicken on the Forman and shreaded it instead of cubing it.

Amazon has a free book for Kindle called The Everything Soup, Stew, and Chili Cookbook.
If you don't have a kindle, you can download a free kindle app for your smart phone or for your PC.
I downloaded the app for my pc. Seems to work fine.

Hey Guys!

I love fall, and part of the reason I love fall is all warm soup!

I just came up with this new fall favorite last night... and the best news is... for all of your weight watchers points plus people, it is zero points! I

Ingredients:
1 medium Butternut Squash cut in half, with the 'guts' scraped out. (If you like pumpkin, then you will love this!)
3 red poblano peppers with the tops and the seeds cut out
6 small gala apples cut and cored
1 heaping tablespoon minced garlic
about 3 cups of water
curry powder and cinnamon to taste.

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees, spray a couple of cookie sheets and slow roast the Squash, apples and peppers for at least 2 hours, longer is ok. Turn the peppers and apples occasionally.

Scoop out all of the insides of the squash, and add all of the remaining ingredients, put all into either a blender of a food processor until you have a puree, add enough water for your desired thickness and cook in a crock pot for several hours. Voila! a taste of fall for zero points . Enjoy!

Do you know how many calories, etc is in the butternut squash soup recipe?

saving for later...these recipes look yummy!

I made this vegetable beef soup on Sunday and it's delicious and easy, too! Also it made enough for a couple of days for our family of three with bread and salad. I used 6 c. of low-sodium beef stock instead of water.
