How to Make Cozy Up With Zero Point Vegetable Soup 🍲 WW Approved

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until aromatic, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
3. Add the carrots, celery, and green beans to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the thyme, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, until all vegetables are tender.
6. Stir in the diced zucchini and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until zucchini is just cooked but still retains some texture.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh, crisp vegetables for maximum flavor and texture.
• For a smoother soup, you can blend half the soup and stir it back in.
• If you want it heartier, add cooked lentils or beans without increasing points.
• Skip the olive oil to keep it fully zero points or use a small amount for richer flavor.
• Make it ahead and flavors will deepen overnight—perfect for meal prep.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover zero point vegetable soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This makes a great grab-and-go lunch or easy dinner on busy days.

To reheat, warm the soup over medium heat on the stovetop until heated through, stirring occasionally. You can also microwave individual servings in a microwave-safe bowl for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
