This soup has stuff in it that will fill you up. In a nice, comforting way that won’t make you feel bulgy or icky or fat. You’ll be stuffed after a bowl or two of Bean and Sausage Soup and you won’t break the calorie or your Weight Watchers Points bank.
Ingredients include carrots, onions, garlic, kielbasa, chicken broth, pepper, salt, Italian seasoning, white beans and spinach.
How to make Bean and Sausage Soup:
Saute the onions, carrots and garlic.
Add the kielbasa. Cook some more.
Pour in the chicken broth.
Add the spices.
Pour in the beans, and heat up the soup.
Here’s the crazy part. Take 2 cups of the soup out of the pot and blend it in your blender or food processor.
Then pour it back into the soup. It might seems a little strange to blend all of that up, but it gives the soup a nicer, more full-bodied, creamy texture.
Stir in the spinach. Done!
One serving of this = 1 1/4 cups and it packs a small punch at 227 calories. This soup is Weight Watchers friendly too. Point values are included at the top of this post.
And if you’re not eating healthy… or not trying to eat healthy… or just want a good soup recipe for your chilly winter… you can still go for this one. It’s not “trying” to be diet-food, it just happens to work out okay for that sort of thing. It also happens to be (naturally) gluten-free too (see *Tips in the recipe). As for me and the whole “healthy eating” thing… yeah, I’m jumping on the bandwagon along with the rest of the crazy people who think that the New Year is a good time to start. Don’t worry– I don’t focus on only diet recipes. I’ve got a whole bunch of great recipes to share this year- desserts, dinners, soups, Super Bowl food… everything. Happy New Year 🙂
