The points value is for anyone who is doing Weight

Watchers…zero is good!<G>

*****

2 cups escarole, chopped

2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 cup chopped onion

2 cups baby spinach leaves

2 small zucchini, cubed

1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped

1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced

6 cups vegetable broth

28-oz canned diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted (or

fresh if you have them)

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

2 Tb fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 Tb fresh oregano, finely chopped

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Put escarole, garlic, onions, spinach, zucchini, red pepper,

fennel, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, thyme, and oregano

into a large soup pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes. Stir

in salt, black pepper, parsley and basil.

***Toss in white beans or chopped shrimp for a heartier

soup; sprinkle on Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. (These will add

points.)
