Betty’s Mexican-Style Black Bean Soup Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a hearty and healthy Mexican-Style Black Bean Soup. It is made in a slow cooker from canned goods, along with a few herbs and spices. It is super easy, and makes a large amount for your family or for college students who are looking for a great meal that is easy on the budget. Ingredients: (2) 15-oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained 7 oz. can chopped green chiles (You may use [2] 4.5-oz. cans instead.) 14 ½ -oz. can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, chopped, but undrained 14 ½-oz. can stewed tomatoes, chopped, but undrained 11-oz. can sweet whole kernel corn with green and red peppers, drained. (You may use regular whole kernel corn.) 4 green onions, sliced 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder (Start with 2 tablespoons, and increase as desired.) 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon garlic powder Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. Taste for flavorings during the last hour of cooking, and adjust to your taste, if desired. You may serve this with tortilla chips, crackers, or cornbread. I served mine with Onion-Cheddar Cheese Cornbread Sticks—delicious!!! I think you will really like this warming soup during the cold days of winter! Enjoy!!! –Betty ?

I’m looking for an old weight watchers recipe from about 8 years ago. It’s from the days when there used to be food exchanges.

The recipe I’m looking for is a vegetarian moussaka dish. I think it had spinach, chickpeas, maybe tomatoes and onions in it. The topping was made with potato, youghurt and egg.

Does anyone have a copy or remember the ingredients and correct proportions? Would be most grateful.

Many thanks

My mother used beef, and then added green beans, carrots, onions, and corn. About how many points would that be in Weight Watchers?

Thanks! :)

I’ve tried the Acai Berry and everything else.. I had some health interactions with it, and well, it didn’t even work. Weight Watchers, even by not being able to be IN a group, is helping me lose.
