Angelhair and Fresh Vegetable Soup

Yields: 8 (1-cup) servings | 1 point per serving



My rating:

I was worried that this soup might be a little boring, but it is actually very good, especially on a cold, rainy night or if you are feeling a little under the weather. I fed this to my husband when he was sick and it made him feel so much better. And for 1 pt per serving, you can't go wrong!

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and thinly sliced (I used 3/4 c. sliced baby carrots)
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, seeded and cut into very thin slices
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 quart low-sodium non-fat chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. dried oregano (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. dried thyme (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 oz. dry angel hair pasta, broken in quarters
  • 3 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese (not shown in above photo)

Directions:

Combine first seven ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or just until vegetables are tender. Add spinach, mushrooms and angel hair pasta. Simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Ladle into serving bowls, and sprinkle each with Parmesan cheese.

Yields approx. 8 (1 cup) Servings
