My friend Kathy passed this recipe onto me. It’s a zero pro-points weight watchers recipe. Go easy on the chilli and half the spices if you prefer food a little less spicy. It’s a great filling food and it’s a bit more interesting than the standard vegetable soup. A good one to have in the freezer.
