I am waiting for my book to arrive, but in the meantime I made a Mexican Black Bean Soup today. This was one of my Weight Watcher's recipes. Can anyone tell me if the ingredients, listed below, are legal on LDL?
1 tsp.olive oil
1 med. onion, chopped
1 sm. red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. ancho chili powder
1&1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 (14 oz.) can fat free chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 (15.5 oz.) cans black beans (rinsed)
1 cup water
4 tsp red wine vinegar
1/2 c, shredded reduced fat Mexican Cheese blend (optional)
This is a really good soup and very filling, and very easy. I usually serve it with homemade pico de gayo (?spelling)and a dollup of fat free sour cream. Thanks for your help.
I would be happy to post instructions if anyone is interested.
Blessings,
Sylvia

Re: Black Bean Soup
Looks good to me, but it's better to have one of the food "police" check it out to make sure. They have been on program a lot longer and with lots of success. I'm a relative newcomer (started January 11th).

Re: Black Bean Soup
The ingredients are fine but would avoid the cheese and sour cream until you've lost OR definitely not have it that often.
I love Cuban/Mexican food and I find it very hard to only have cheese/sour cream every now and then...so I don't use it on my soups.
I also believe once you try the recipe in the book you'll probably perfer that version. I have a few recipes that call for red wine vinegar and I prefer the one in the book.
