I made this soup before work – it took about 15 minutes to make. If you have chicken base on hand (the powdered stuff in a jar) then you can whip up a soup in no time. I prefer that than buying cans or cartons of chicken broth – and it’s cheaper too!

I had three Trader Joe’s vegetarian pot stickers in the freezer, so I decided to add those too.

Serves 1 HUGE bowl of soup 5 WW+ points (according to my twin sister Biz)

3 cups chicken broth
½ cup broccoli slaw
1 small red pepper, diced
½ small bag mixed veggies, (mine had green beans, peas and carrots
3 Trader Joe’s vegetarian pot stickers (found in the frozen section)
2 tablespoons Thai chili sauce
1/8 cup uncooked elbow noodles

In a small pot, add the chicken broth, the frozen veggies, broccoli slaw, red pepper, and broccoli slaw. Heat on low for about 5 minutes. Add the pot stickers, elbow noodles and Thai sauce and cook for another 10 minutes or until the noodles are done.

This was a gigantic serving – I thought having so few pot stickers would make me sad and I wished I had more, but to be honest – it was just right!

You could do so many variations of this. Just start with whatever kind of broth you like, add some veggies, leftover chicken, or steak, if you want to add noodles or pasta – and whatever spices you like and you are done!

What is your favorite soup?

This is the chili sauce I used. It’s so good! You can find it in the Asian section at pretty much any major grocery chain:
