What a great little soup. It is a WW recipe. It was a fast, easy and great tasting a real hearty soup. It made 4 big servings at 396 Calories. This is a keeper and worth making again and again.
What I did:
I diced 2 small carrots, 2 celery stalks and 1 small onion and 1/2 fresh jalapeno minced, sauteed them in 2 Tbsp olive oil for about 3-5 minutes on low heat. You want to soften them. I then added 1 lg clove garlic that was also minced. Add 4 mushrooms, sliced and stir. Cook another 2-3 minutes while you get the cans of tomatoes opened. Add 1/3 c uncooked Lentils to the pot along with 2 (14 oz) cans of Italian stewed tomatoes and 1 (8 oz) can of tomatoes sauce along with 1 1/2 cup water stir together.
Add your seasoning:
1/2 tsp of Basil, Oregano and Garlic Powder. Salt and cracked Black Pepper to taste. Cover the pot and bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Now add 1 uncooked cup of Ditalini Pasta, stir and cook for another 10-15 minutes. Check soup now and add a little more water if needed and finish cooking for another 5 minutes or so. When the pasta is done to your liking your soup is finished.
This soup is really yummy, go ahead and give it a try. We had it with a small crusty roll. You can add a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese if you like.
Each of the 4 servings is only 396 Calories. Each serving provides: 1 Protein; 2 1/2 Vegetables; 2 breads According to WW.
It is 62 degrees tonight so this soup was perfect and quite healthy. I'll make it again. Try it and let me know what you thought.
Later gator
Wishing you all a good night.
