Favorite 0 point soup and freezing it?

  • How do you store your favorite 0 point soup? I was wondering about freezing it specifically so I can make it ahead. Also, can you provide a link or post your way of making your favorite 0 or low point soup? Thanks.
  • On w/w official site they have the original and 3 versions. I think you have to be a paying member to the site to get them but I also think meeting goers get them in their materials.

    I have frozen it but if you freeze it you want to just undercook the veggies a bit in my opinion.

  • Wow thanks guys. I appreciate this very much. I actually have the at home program from several years ago and lost weight on it quite well. I went to the market this morning and bought fresh produce for this soup. Thanks alot.

    Does the cabbage taste okay after thawed? That is the one veggie I was concerned about in the soup.
  • The Asian one is FAB - I tried it last week - I have no problems with freezing cabbage recipes - just be careful to overcook before freezing
  • I know this post was awhile ago, but just thought I'd add..
    If you google 0 point soup(s) you will get a ton. I know I printed out like 10 different ones to try. HTH

    This is the one I remember from 8 years ago. We used to have it every night before dinner. I think I need to make a batch!
  • I like the original garden vegetable one. I use the base for that and switch up the soup by adding... well basically whatever 0-point veggies I feel like to it. Every once in a while I will put in pasta or leftover turkey breast, but then it isn't 0 points anymore

    Oh and it freezes just fine!
  • Would you be able to sub cole slaw or broccoli slaw?
  • I wouldnt see why you wouldnt be able too KO, maybe just cut down on the carrots a bit.
