Today's recipe is one from my Aunt Lu. She and my other relatives were in town last week, and she made this delicious tomato bisque. I modified it (only slightly) to be more Weight Watchers friendly. However, I'm confused about how the Recipe Builder Tool calculated the points. It would cost me almost 0 if I counted individual portions of each ingredient, but when I put it in the Recipe Builder, it's more. There's even a link that says "Why is this total higher than what my ingredients add up to?" but it's not really helpful. Anyway, here's the recipe:
Boil together:
8 cans fire roasted tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup greek yogurt or skim milk
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups carrots
1 onion, chopped
Handful of fresh basil
Boil until carrots are soft, put hot mixture into blender until desired texture is met, add a sprig of fresh basil for a garnish, and enjoy! The Recipe builder said a bowl of soup (2 1/2 cups) was 3 points. But I'm not sure since most of the ingredients are vegetables. I count it as 3 though, so I don't feel like I'm cheating.
6 days until Weigh-In Wednesday!
