2 soups for the yucky rainy day

The Boston Marathon was today, so StrollerFit was cancelled, but the rain held out so I got a run in with the kids this am and we did get to go outside and play at the park today, but of course it was too cool for my planned StrollerFit picnic and hike. So I went home and made 2 new soup recipes:

Broccoli and Shrimp Chowder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup low fat sour cream
1/2 pound cooked shrimp
1/4 tsp thyme (dried)
2 cups stock fat free (chicken or vegetable)
1 medium shallot or small onion
2 cups broccoli
1 medium yukon gold potato-cubed with skin on

Direction:

1. In a medium pot combine, potato, broccoli, shallot, broth and thyme, cook until veggies are tender, about 15 minutes. puree soup in a blender and return to pot.

2. add remaining ingredients and let simmer about 3 minutes (do not boil).

for you ww members - 1 cup serving is 3 points (2 points if you use fat free sour cream)

Turkey and Vegetable chilli soup - makes 20 servings, 1 point
10 oz extra lean turkey breast ground (suggested jennie-o) (can leave out and make vegetarian chili)
1 medium onion, chopped
28 oz can diced tomatoes
2 med. zucchini, chopped
2 medium yellow squash, chopped
15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
2-15 ounce can fat fee low sodium beef broth (can be vegetable broth)
4 celery stalks, chopped
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 1/4 ounce McCormick chili seasoning

Directions:

Brown onions and Turkey until golden, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, in order listed above and bring to a boil. Allow it to simmer about 20 minutes or until all of the veggies are fork tender.

If you make with out the turkey and vegetable broth, it is 1 point.

I hope you all will enjoy these.
