I got this recipe from the Weight Watchers site. I have not tried it yet, but it is one of my favorite soups so I had to save it to try soon. It is 5 points per serving. The serving size is 3/4 cup plus 3 T corn chips for 5 points so if you want more, double the recipe AND the points. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 medium garlic clove, minced |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 medium celery rib, chopped |
1 lb uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat) |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3 cups canned chicken broth, divided |
1 cup low-fat evaporated milk |
8 ounces kraft velveeta reduced fat cheese product, cubed |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon table salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
24 baked corn tortilla chips, crumbled |
Directions:
1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds.
2. Add garlic, onion and celery to skillet; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Coat a 3-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray; spoon in vegetables.
4. Place same skillet over medium-high heat and brown beef, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5 to 6 minutes; pour off any liquid and add meat to slow cooker.
5. In a small cup, combine flour and 1/2 cup of broth; stir until lump-free.
6. Pour flour mixture into same skillet; add remaining 2 1/2 cups of broth.
7. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits in bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, and then pour into slow cooker; stir in evaporated milk, cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.
8. Cover slow cooker and cook on low setting for 2 hours.
9. Serve soup topped with crumbled chips.
10. Yields about 3/4 cup of soup and 3 tablespoons of chips per serving.
11. Note: If the soup cooks too long, the cheese could separate.
12. If that happens, combine 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of soup in a cup; stir to a paste.
13. Stir flour mixture back into soup in slow cooker; cover and cook on low setting for 10 to 15 minutes (does not affect POINTS values).
