Weight Watchers Tortilla Soup done MY Way

Pin It

This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein to keep me moving a bit longer. 

3 chicken breast,  in a pot with about 6 cups of water.
add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, remove skin/bones
Or if you are cooking Grilled Chicken the night before do 2-3  extra and
use 4 cups of Can Chicken Broth (easier)

tortilla soup chicken diced

Pull chicken out and shred.

cooking onions and celery

The Quilt Ladies Store

1 cup Chopped Onions Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves
3 Green Onions Chopped
 3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro
Spray pan with spray oil.
Cook  in soup pan, make everything tender 10-15 minutes

Pour Chicken broth through a strainer and back into pot.(if homemade)

 Add Shredded Chicken

Add the rest of the ingredients  to the broth

2 - 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like

Serving Weight Watchers Tortilla Soup

Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips

 Suggestions
  • When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it's wonderful.
  • Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
  • You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don't want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
  • This is a make it your own soup.
  • We eat this year round, mostly I think because it's a great solo-lunch for me.
  • It's very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.

Sewing Room Table ReFinished with Paint

Pin It
 Needed just a few touch ups on the table when it was turned over.

Last Week - HERE


Sewing Room Table ReFinished with Paint

Sewing Room Table ReFinished with Paint

Again, days of coats and they had to dry in between.


Table ReFinished with Paint

I like the oil paint to the point that it made a wonderful HARD surface, the drying time, the smell and then the time again was nuts.

 What a project, not hard. But, loads for time.   This table sat in our garage just over 2 weeks after finished, the smell was not going into my sewing room. For me, next time, porch and deck paint, LATEX !

Looking at it,  I love it !
