Tortilla Soup - 0 points!!

Here is a twist on the veggie soup from WW - which I truly can't stand. :)  Super yummy, very healthy, and is great year round. 

Servings: 9
WW Points: 0

1 cup onion , chopped


2 garlic cloves , chopped

3 green onions , chopped

2 (12 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/3 cup salsa

1/2 red pepper , chopped

1/2 green pepper , chopped

3 -4 celery ribs , chopped - I hate cooked celery so I left this part out - but obviously up to you!

1/3 cup fresh cilantro

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon basil

4 tablespoons fat free sour cream

4 tablespoons flour , to thicken
(this varies according to how thick you like your soup.  If you prefer it thin and brothy - add only 1 TB or none.  If you like it creamier (like me) - I added 3 TB, mixed with equal parts of lukewarm water first - then poured into the soup.  NEVER add flour straight to the soup with out mixing it with warm water first - nasty flour chunks otherwise!).
Add a little Pam spray to the bottom of your stock pot and add the onions and garlic - simmer for about 2-3 minutes.  Add all other ingredients and cook until veggies are tender.  The longer it cooks, the better it gets!  I just put mine on low simmer and let it cook for a couple of hours.  BUT, it will cook a lot faster if you need it to!

**Add chicken (an already cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store tastes great and is easy!) or shrimp - just divide your amount by 9!  Also good served with warm (1 pt) tortillas.
