Skinny Soup

Okay, so I have to admit the last recipe, while it is delicious, may not be so figure-friendly with all that cheese. So, here are a couple of really yummy soup recipes I got from Weight Watchers. Trust me though; you can't really tell they are WW because of how delicious they are. Plus you can always doctor them up to suit your own dietary needs (or wants). Enjoy!
