Weight Watcher Wednesday- Sweet Potato Soup


This week I didn't bake something for WW Wednesday, instead I wanted to post this creamy, tasty soup.  This is one of the best soups I have tasted in a very long time.  It is nice and creamy, loaded with vitamins and antioxidants and is only 4 points!  Serve with a nice salad and you have a great lunch!  Try it today!
It is incredibly delicious!


Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 cups canned chicken broth, divided
- 1 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp chopped pecans

TIP: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a dash of curry powder with the flour and ginger. And toast the pecans to help maximize their flavor.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool. When cool, remove and discard skin; chop potatoes.
Combine sweet potatoes and 3/4 cup of broth in a blender or food processor; blend or process until smooth, about 1 minute. Set potato mixture aside.
Melt margarine in a medium-size saucepan; stir in flour and ginger, and then add milk. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Cook 1 minute more and then stir in sweet potato mixture and remaining 1 1/4 cups of broth. Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes more. Pour into 4 serving bowls and sprinkle each with 3/4 teaspoon of pecans.


Serving size is 1 cup
Each serving = 4 Weight Watchers Points

  2. What уou havе pеnned in "Weight Watcher Wednesday- Sweet Potato Soup" is surely not onlу great but аctually form of important.
    I κnоw the average peορle don't really keep in mind these products. Yet when you are like me that has sorted out fat loss or addiction or some of the things you truly can go looking at I usually tend to appreciate what I read because it really is inside your grow in knowledge without actually doing a things. Thats why I enjoy finding out different peoples points of vistas and experience.
