Zero Point Vegetable Soup! ( A dieting girls (or guys) best friend!

Zero point vegetable soup!  Here are the ingredients you will need.  This soup can become your very best friend, especially on days you need to conserve all your points for going out for supper that night!!!  I have a friend who doesn't like cabbage so she leaves it out!  I have also modified it to make it a meal and added some cooked chicken breast. It has points then, but only what the chicken adds.  This recipe makes 4 servings!  If you decide to eat the whole thing in a day, I would suppose you should add a point or two.  Oh, I happen to LOVE mushrooms as well and they are also a zero point food so I have added them and broccoli  (also zero points) to it to change it up!
