Enjoy this Italian-inspired version of our best vegetable soup, perfect for a meatless dinner or tasty lunch.

The delicate and flavorful tomato forward broth cradles familiar vegetables like carrots, spinach and celery like little jewels in each spoonful. Dried herbs, like the basil and oregano here, are ideal for long and slow cooked dishes like this one, where they can slowly impart their herbaceous goodness into the entire dish. If you grow herbs, a sprinkle over each bowl will boost the herbs flavor and add a fancier presentation. Add some slices of crusty bread to your plate for dipping into the broth.

WEIGHT WATCHERS CROCK POT BEEF,BARLEY AND ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP

Weight Watchers Crock Pot Beef,barley and Root Vegetable Soup image

2 1/3 cup = 5 points. From WW Slow Good Cookbook. If refrigerated for more than a day, barley may absorb some liquid. You can add broth or water when reheated. The soup has enough flavor so it will not dilute the taste. You can sub celeriac and rutabaga in the veggie mix- Just keep the broth to root veggie ratio about the same.
