How About a Pumpkin & Leek Soup? Zero Points Too!

Greetings!

Hey! Spring's hitting us here down-under, announcing a warm summer coming around the corner.

But here down-under too, spring can be still a bit "nippy", and some of us still use our heaters at night... and have delicious soups for dinner. ;-)

And then I thought about my Northern Hemisphere friends and, I reckon you're just finishing your summer, huh?

Well, even if fall (autumn) is just about to begin, you may also like this low fat soup recipe with lots of flavour, and absolutely zero points. Here it is:

Ingredients:

• 1 large leek, sliced
• 1 kg butternut pumpkin, chopped
• 2 cups cauliflower, chopped
• 4 cups of water
• 4 chicken stock cubes (substitute with Vegeta if you're a vegetarian)

This is what you do:

• Mix all the ingredients in a medium saucepan, and bring to the boil.
• Then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or so. Make sure the pumpkin is tender.
• Put the mixture in a blender, and blend the life out of it! :-)
• You'll have enough for four servings and... you know what?
• ... You can have all of them for yourself if you want! (because they're zero points! Get it?) ;-)
• And you can have them with a couple of dinner buns (1 point each).

Enjoy!

P.S. I'm still working on the low fat pizza recipes.... I have not forgotten.
