Mexican Soup and Review

Sunday I made this delicious recipe from Weight Watchers.com Well, this is my version of their recipe. I’m happy to have a zero-point soup I can eat again. I got really burned out on that cabbage soup the year I joined WW.

Mexican-Inspired Zero HU Soup
2 med zucchini, cubed
1 cup tomatillos, chopped
1 average jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
14 oz canned diced tomatoes, Mexican-style preferred
¼ c. diced green chilies
1 medium Spanish onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
½ tsp cumin
1 tsp fresh oregano
2 (14 oz) ff vegetable broth
½ cup roasted peppers (about 2 peppers)
1 Tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Put zucchini, tomatillos, jalapeno, diced tomatoes, green chili pepper, onion, green pepper, cumin, oregano and vegetable broth into a large soup pot. Puree roasted peppers with chipotle in adobo sauce in a blender or food processor, and add to soup. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Serve.
